Sustainability 

On the Winter Solstice (shortest day and longest night) in the Southern Hemisphere,  Monday 21st of June several students were asked the following question. 

How would you work out the answer to this question: How many days until we dig up the pumpkin?”

This are their responses:

• Ava L 1/2 D “I would look at the date on the board?”
• Liam W 1/2 E “ I would look at the date on the board and look at my Garmin”
• Dash  M 1/2 “ I would look at the date and count on”
• Stephanie D 3/4 Y “ I need to find out what month it is and then the date.”
• Hugo B 3/4K “Count the months until you get to August then do the days.”
• Levi R 4K “Count how many months then add the days.”
• Alice G 5/6F  “ Count from today on.”
• Luella C E ⅚ ‘Round up then count on.”
• Lily B 5/6Y “Count how many days are left to the end of the month then in July and August then add these together.”
• Adrianna M 5/6H “Yesterday was the 20th so today is the 21st so then I would look at counting the months.”
