In Room 8 we were wondering …

how can we make our school a better place to

be?

This is our Inquiry.

The concrete games are

fun and help us to learn…• colours• shapes• numbers

• letters

But…

We can’t play on some

of them because

we can’t see them.

The paint has faded.

We wondered…

Why has the

paint faded?

• Maybe the paint is too cheap.

• We might have walked on it too much.

• The sun might have faded it.• The paint might not be good paint.

We wondered

what we could

do to make

the games

better…

We will need …• paint• brushes• money for the paint• help to paint the

games

We decided that we should paint the games…

what will we need?

We asked the Junior

children which games

they like to play.

Then …

We asked Mr Ron

if he has any paint and

brushes.

We will ask mums and dads to help.

We decided to ask Mrs Ireland if we have any money for the paint.

We found out that the Board of Trustees looks after our school, we will ask them if they can help.

We wondered

if there was

better paint

that we could use.

Some children

went to the paint shop

to ask about

different kinds of paint.

We discovered that…

Pavement paint

• lasts a long time• comes in dark colours.

and…• is very expensive.

We discovered that…

House paint • will wear off more quickly.• has lots of bright colours.• will cost $30 for 500ml.

We decided …It will be better to paint the games withhouse paint and paint over them againwhen they fade.We will need 8 bright colours.

Now we need help with some

money. We will need about $300.

Then we can

play on the games again.

Thank you,

From Room 8.
