Imagination Station

Yesterday we went to the city to visit the imagination station. We have been learning about designing new classrooms and used the Lego to test out our designs. We had a great time with all the lego. Some groups were lucky enough to have a quick play on the Margaret Mahy playground on the way home. A big thank you to all the parents who helped with transport and supervision.

Over the next 2 days we will be making our modern classroom designs out of corflute.

This morning the Year 3 and 4 Team all walked down to the newest building in Sumner - the Surf Lifesaving Club!

We looked at the club building to find out what the building is used for and what the club members needed to use the club for.

They need a gear shed to store junior surf gear such as boogie boards.

Another gear shed stores all the IRBs (inflatable rescue boats) and patrol equipment such as flags and rescue tubes. 

 Another gear shed for surf skis and boards for the lifeguards to train with.

 The Patrol Room is high up so the lifeguards can see the beach.

A first aid room to treat people.

 A pavilion for meetings, parties and community groups.

 There are public toilets, showers and changing facilities.

When we get new classrooms at Sumner School we are going to have to consider a building that will help us learn!
Keep watching this blog to see some of the ideas we come up with.
