Following on from our landmark learning - today Tui had a go on Google Earth!
It was so fun looking at the landmarks we have been learning about and seeing it in "real" life!
We had great discussions and people shared information about the landmark they researched. While we were looking at the Eiffel Tower, Lily told us that there are two elevators in the 'legs' of the tower. Raidon shared that the Taj Mahal is referred to as the worlds biggest onion. Looking at the Pyramids of Giza started lots of chat around how the pyramids were built so large and accurately and without technology or machinery! We talked about pharaohs, mummies and tomb raiders.
After we looked at the landmarks we knew about we brainstormed other places in the world we might like to look at on Google Earth. From here, Tui kids went and had a look at Google Earth themselves. They had a play with the different tools and looked at other places like the Great Wall of China, Times Square, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace.
We are opening our eyes to the big wide world and thinking about the places we might like to see in person one day 😀
Check out the Tui kids individual blogs to read about the places they looked at on Google Earth.

ReplyDeleteMalo e lei lei Tui Class,
ReplyDeleteWe have used Google Earth to see our school and homes. You might like to see what our school looks like. We have also used it when we played Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? Some of use would like to see The Great Wall of China, Legoland and the Taj Mahal.

We just had a look at your school! We then looked at our school and realised that the pictures must have been from YEARS ago as our school looks quite different now 😊
