Our Class - Room 7
Welcome to Room 7's part of the world!
Our class has been learning about our home-town Edgecumbe as part of our 'Inquiry Learning' unit called 'Our Local World'.
Many of the children in Room 7 only live within minutes of Edgecumbe Primary School while other children catch the bus or are brought in by car from the rural areas that may only take between 10-20 minutes.
Room 7 is a Year 3-4 class with 17 boys and 6 girls!
Some of the children helped to take photographs of people and of places mentioned in our stories. All of the children have found out at least 2-4 facts each that we have collated, discussed and then have chosen particular facts to research further.
During the course of this term, two Room 7 children have moved on to other schools, but they also helped to gather information early in the term.
