We have talked about how learner agency means the learner is in charge of the learning.
On Friday swimming was cancelled because of the weather.
After morning tea someone wondered....
Why do we feel hot and sticky when it is about to rain?
We investigated...
 |
| We asked Kiddle a question. (We use Kiddle to be cyber safe) The answer wasn't quite what we were after so we has to adjust our search. |
 |
| We were getting closer but still not exactly what we wanted. We scanned and search to check out results. |
 |
| Much better! This web search had a wonderopolis article. |
Read the article here:
We read through and learned about humidity and the vapour in the air.
We had found our answer but wanted to investigate further about the weather in our area and the potential storm on the way.
Metservice is the meteorology (or weather) service for finding the weather in our area.
 |
| We learned how to read the short and long range forecast and what the symbols mean. Someone wondered if meteorologists could predict the future! Then we looked at the actual and predicted rain forecast to see what weather we could expect. 
The last part of the learning was watching the rain radar video to see where the weather was coming from and what parts of the country were getting the most rain. We can 'read' the colours to see how heavy the rain is.
Raedence was particularly curious and pleased to hear the weather would be mostly fine for Easter holiday weekend.
Phew! What a lot of learning that came from one I wonder.
Whaea Georgia loved to see curious wonderers who can lead their own learning.

I really enjoyed reading this post! Great wonderings Room 9. Yes it'a all about humidity and Hamilton is humid in summer and winter. So what do you think high humidity in winter results in? (It's that stuff for which Hamilton is famous!) Whaea Sheryl
