Monique leads the class to investigate whose lunchbox is the heaviest. Shoma suggested that within small groups we use scales and have a ‘Final Eight’ play-off. This will eliminate the lunchboxes which are the lightest.

Chanel’s Mum Trish generously donated some stationery for our next class shop. We thought that we would like to use real money for this shop, so each person brought in $1.00 in 5c pieces. At the end of the day we counted all the money and had $25.00. This is going towards our first Kiva loan. You can read about the Kiva Loan system here:

As part of our Inquiry into how people meet their economic needs and wants, we investigated where things come from. We brought in items from home, examined them and discovered their country of origin. We then placed the items on a world map to notice any patterns or interesting information. We then summarised our new knowledge and understanding in this video and a class ‘sticky note’ session.
Do you notice anything interesting in our movie? Have you got any questions or wonderings? To help you think, you may like to use one of our question starters:
