The week began with a fun, detoured, walk to the park for PE.
This walk allowed us the opportunity to observe any changes in the natural environment.
More specifically, we were looking for any signs of wind deposition or possible erosion.
Not a lot to see, except for observing dead tree leaves gathered on the floor along the bushes.
The students were proposed with the question of,
`Why do you think the leaves are there?`
With that, I received some responses of `because they fell off the tree` and `because the wind might have blown it there`. Whilst others gave me their well-thought out response of `because they were swept off the path`, which I am sure was most likely the correct answer.
Moving along, we also combined our walk with a fun thinking game of
`WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF?`- Natural Phenomena edition.
The students were given different scenarios and had to think through and act out what they would do in these specific situations.
- What would you do if there was a lightning storm?
- What would you do if it started to snow?
- What would you do if the ground started to shake?
- Now that you`re in a safe open area, what would you do if a tsunami alert was sent out?
The fun walk continued until we eventually ended up at the park where we could rehearse our gymnastic routine.
With a change in weather, it was very fortunate that we could experience the snow on Rokko Island. As well as witness first-hand the different states of matter in our natural environment.
- How the particles in liquid slow down until it has reached its freezing point to form ice- solid particles.

They then went and distributed their booklets to the teachers of DSKI, so that the teachers could share the Grade Three's research with the rest of the students, helping to create safety and awareness.
Good job!
