The BrainFreezers

We are the BrainFreezers group. Our HOT question is to determine Howick Intermediate student's perception of how people receive head injuries and explore how people can avoid injuries in different situations and implement a campaign to encourage people to wear helmets.

For our social action we are going to make a picture book for Islander children to encourage them to wear helmets. We will be focussing on narrative writing to tell the story about the consequences of not wearing helmets. We are going to work with Miss Haag the art specialist teacher to make pictures for our up coming book.

Research

In Room 19 we have been putting our research skills into use at the library.

To research we know that we must first plan what we would like to find out about, to do this we have been using a KWHL Chart.

This chart shows what we know, what we want to know, how we found out the information, and what we have learnt. By using this we are able to spend our time researching effectively.
