Inquiry - How do People use the land?

We looked at the space where the old playground used to be and we thought about what we would like to see there. Here are some of our ideas.


The old playground should be tidied up and cleaned.  It could be a castle.  The castle has a swimming pool one hundred metres deep and in the roof there is a spa pool.

I think that the old playground could be a shop that sells clothes so when people have muddy clothes they can go there and get changed but you have to bring back the clothes.
By Jessica

I think the old playground can be a swimming pool because my Mum don’t let me.  I can learn to swim every day.

I want a racing car on a road.

It could be a reading place for the teachers to read with you, like Mrs Speight.  So you don’t need to read in Room 5 and it could have a shelf outside.

In the Country


We talked about how people use land in the country. Here are some of our ideas.



The farm has horses and the horses eat leaves and the horses eat apples too. The farm grows pears and apples and carrots. There is grass and trees.
By Roshni

In the country you will find farms. This is what I saw. A grape tree and carrots too. Cows were getting milked. Sheep were getting chased by the dogs so they could get shorn for making jackets and jerseys. And one rabbit hopping along.
By Liam


In the country at night you can hear the owls. My aunty lives in the country. She says it is very quiet in the country. There are orchards in the country. In orchards there are apples and oranges and pears.
By Molly

In the country you can find heaps of farms. On the farms you can see dogs and sheep and also cows. Cows give us milk. Sheep dogs can put the sheep where they have to go. They can be warm. They help the garden grow. There are trees on the farm.
By Jake

Cows are in the country.
By Ashton



Apples can grow on trees.

By Mika

Some trees have fruit on it and some trees don’t have fruit. The trees hold on to the grass. It has something that makes it stay in the grass.
By Riley

In the country there are rabbits and sheep. There are also dogs and other kinds of animals.

In the City


We talked about how people used the land in the city. Here are some of our ideas.


There are houses in the city with people inside, and really tall buildings and schools to learn in. There are cars in the city and shops too. The city is great because it has heaps of cars and buses. It has more people than the country and heaps of houses and buildings.
By Ella

The city is the best of all because you can go in shows and you can go in towers and skyscrapers.
By Luke

I like the city. The city is fun.

By Jodeci


They have movie theatres in the city. There are houses in the city and works for people to work in. There are shops in the city and cafes that sell food for people to get and coffee and hot chocolate, cakes and pies. I like to get an ice cream. There are cars in the city.
By Carter

I like the city most because it has movies that are 3D and hotels with a pool. It has trains that people can ride. There are airports, libraries and schools.
By Logan


The city is good because it is good. I haven’t been there. There are toys. There are people and lots of shops.
By Tyler


I like the city. It is so cool because it has shops with food. The city has big buildings. A city has cars. There are stadiums in the city. There are houses.
By Ava

I saw the big city and the buildings.
By Jason

The city is good for the movies to go there. There are cars, pool, houses, gardens, flowers, buildings, playgrounds, shops, cafes, schools, libraries and fire engines.
