1. In Room 8 we were wondering … how can we make our school a better place to be? This is our Inquiry.

2. The concrete games are fun and help us to learn… colours shapes numbers letters

3. But… We can’t play on some of them because we can’t see them. The paint has faded.

4. We wondered… Why has the paint faded?

5. Maybe the paint is too cheap. We might have walked on it too much.

6. The sun might have faded it. The paint might not be good paint.

7. We wondered what we could do to make the games better…

8. We will need … paint brushes money for the paint help to paint the games

9. We decided that we should paint the games… what will we need?

10. We asked the Junior children which games they like to play.

11. Then … We asked Mr Ron if he has any paint and brushes. We will ask mums and dads to help.

12. We decided to ask Mrs Ireland if we have any money for the paint.

13. We found out that the Board of Trustees looks after our school, we will ask them if they can help.

14. We wondered if there was better paint that we could use. Some children went to the paint shop to ask about different kinds of paint.

15. We discovered that… Pavement paint lasts a long time comes in dark colours. and… is very expensive.

16. We discovered that… House paint will wear off more quickly. has lots of bright colours. will cost $30 for 500ml.

17. We decided … It will be better to paint the games with house paint and paint over them again when they fade. We will need 8 bright colours.

18. Now we need help with some money. We will need about $300. Then we can play on the games again.

19. Thank you, From Room 8.
