"It's fun!"
When we got back to school we connected this answer to our line of inquiry 'Reasons that we move' and added it to our 'hows, whats, and whys' of movement chart.
After a snack break, it was time to go down to the "deep, dark MRT", as Daniel calls it! We found our way down using the signs provided and traveled by escalator. We noticed that there was a 'No Skateboarding' sign and discussed reasons why it was there:
|
- you can have a snack (Denzil)
- you can skateboard (Aziz & Johnny)
- you can take photos (Ayesha)
- you can jump (Johnny)
- we could see people skateboarding (Aziz) and doing tricks (Denzil) and jumping on some rails (Lea)
- you can see birds (Denzil)
- you can see trees (Daniel)
- We can see different places like houses and restaurants. (Lea)
- We can see this [the traffic lights] and they go in a pattern. (Wilma)
- We can hear the cars vrooming. (Lucy)
What is better about the MRT?
- It's much quicker (Daniel)
- You can sit down and play your mum's mini iPad (Cameron)
- You can sit down so you don't fall (Zoe)
- It's safer than walking because only grown ups can stand up (Aziz)
- It goes so fast. (Aziz)
- Whenever the train stops the doors open and other people get in and out. (Lea)
Which is the better way to get to Somerset?
- MRT! (Everyone)
- It's more faster! (Cameron)
- The MRT because when we walked our legs got tired and we can see black out the window on the MRT. (Lucy
- Outside was so hot and inside the MRT was not hot. (Wilma) ...because there was aircon. (Daniel)
- You use so much energy walking. (Wilma)
- Walking is tiring. (Aziz)
