Term 4, Week 7 Sticky Question

This week we are going to revisit another one of the Question Keys we have looked at.

The What if...? Key

For example: What if there were no planes? 

We thought about not flying anywhere last term.  We realised it would take a lot longer to get overseas, it would be quieter at school, no one would be a pilot.

This week's question is:

What if there was no sound? 

You have to think of two good things about this idea and two negatives.


We look forward to reading your ideas in full proper sentences below :)

Te Whare Tapa Wha

 One way to describe how to be healthy.

Last term we began looking at Te Whare Tapa Wha. 


This is the wall display we finished recently to show the four-sided House of Hauora  (health).

The four parts to good health are: 

Taha Physical (tinana)

Taha Hinengaro ( mental/ mind health

Taha Whanau (family/relationships)

Taha Wairua (spiritual).

This term we have begun doing fitness then mindfulness every day. This is good for our taha wairua and our taha hinengaro and we think probably our taha whanau too.  Now we are so responsible about this helpful practice we are running the sessions ourselves. 

We are YMS HEROs every day in every way!!

Sticky Question Time!

 Term 4,  Week 5 

This week are going back to the beginning  - we are going to use the Question Key.

Remember this is when you are given the answer and you have to think of a question that would have that answer. For example, if the answer is tomato the question could be:

What is your favourite salad ingredient?       Tomato

What is a fruit that many people think is a vegetable?       Tomato

What is often the most popular sauce at a barbeque?      Tomato


Your Turn!

Answer: Music

What could the question be?


Think carefully and write a proper question in the comments below that would have music as an answer. 

(Remember a proper question starts with a capital, often a word beginning with W or H and ends with a ?.)
