This week for inquiry I had to look at how we could improve the jr playground. We took photos of the trees, bushes and stones that had been thrown out of the swale. Then we put it into a slideshow and wrote everything wrong with it. We also learnt the meanings of words like future proof and kaitiakitanga.
MEANINGS. Kaitiakitanga: means guardianship and protection or looking after an environment. Sustainability: the ability to maintain for the future generations. Quota: the removal of a place’s natural resources until it is all gone. Replenish. Guardian: A person who protects a place or a thing. Future proof: Future proof has almost the same meaning as sustainability. Future proof means preparing for the future.
