 * Type your question in here ||  || Hypothesis ||   || Actual answer ||   || Who is responsible for this question ||

- polar fleece to make blanets for cats -Canned cat and dog food -Shredded paper, wide strips only -Newspapers, towels and blankets - Baby teething toys and rattles for rabbits to play with -baby toys -Assorted canine enrichment toys/items
 * What does the SPCA need? || I think they need food for their animals, and basic animal essentials like blankets, shampoo, nail clippers, such. I think they also need fundraising, so they can buy more supplies and provide better facilities for the homeless animals. Also with the money, they could take in more homeless or mistreated animals. ||  || The SPCA has a wishlist, and it is as follows:

The list can be found on their website ||  || Emily ||

|| My hypothesis was partly correct as there can be Dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, cavies, rats, guinea pigs, roosters, pigs, goats. || Sarah ||

 * What animals are taken in by the SPCA? || I think that Cats, dogs, rabbits, fish, and guinea pigs are taken to the SPCA
 * What is the main cause of animals being taken to the SPCA? || I think that unwanted pets is the main cause of animals taken to the SPCA, or mistreating the animals. || Some common offences to the animals welfare are not being able to provide the food and water and shelter an animal needs, acts of deliberate creulty to animals. || Sarah ||
 * How many SPCA's are there in New Zealand? || I think that there will be about 60 stores around New Zealand because there are a lot of animals in New Zealand and they all need a home. || I found out that there are 58 stores all around New Zealand, so my hypothesis was proven nearly correct. || Shae-Lyne ||
 * What are some ways that we could help out at the SPCA? || I think that we could help by taking care of the animals, donating things in need and money, and also we could help by cleaning. || I found that the SPCA needed things like tinned cat and dog food, old blankets, towels and newspapers etc. The list of these things are on their website. || Shae-Lyne ||
 * how old do you have to be to be a volunteer || I think you have to be 16+ to join and you would walk animals and clean cages. || To be a volunteer you have yo be 18 plus and you do the following: clean animals, clean animal cages, they only have to work a minimum of 4 hours once a month, they also walk animals and feed them. || Heather ||
 * how did the SPCA begin? || I think that the SPCA started by someone creating a shelter for abused animals || I found out that My hypothesis was correct it started when a guy in England welcomed abused and neglected animals into his home and he then made shelter. || Heather ||
 * What does the SPCA do? || I think the SPCA takes in homeless and abused animals to give them a home, and also they are an adoption centre, that people can adopt animals from. || My hypothesis wwas correct as the SPCA takes in many homeless, abused and mistreated animals every day. Also they take in wild and injured animals too, and after they recover, it is released back into the wild. They also have an adoption centre so people may wish to adopt animals from them || Emily :) ||

We have sorted out the transport, it is Shae Lyne's Gran and My dad. YESS! The things that were formerly clothes have now turned into little blankets for the animals. I hope we see horses there xD || Today, I (Shae-Lyne) need to work harder than I could ever do, thats if we have Inquiry this after noon, or period 5. I need to step up my game on my wiki because I believe I haven't worked had enough. I just hope that we have a parent to transport us there (SPCA). This afternoon, we all sorted out our transporting issues and now we have to fill in the daily reflection table etc. I thought I could put in a bit more time into fundraising for the SPCA tonight... I have typed up the permission slips for the 2 groups to give to their parents for permission. || Today we finally sorted out transport to the SPCA, Shae-Lynes Grandma and Emilys Dad can take us there and back. I also thought that I would start gathering things like old towels/blankets and old toys from my house to donate to the SPCA || YES!!!! we finally have transport to the SPCA. We have Shaelyne's grandmother and Emily's dad coming too. the box has lost objects what has happened? || We went to the adoption area where we could see the cats behind the glass and they were all separated out in these rooms with toys and stuff. We went to see some of the cats AND kittens, but they (the kittens) were the cutest. We saw the puppies and one of the pup's mums, though i was happy there wasn't a rottweiler there (long story...) But the trip was awesome and the transport parents deserve a great big thank you! we wouldn't have done it without you!! :-) And emily, we saw a pig! remember??!! Haley says she will be printing 2 certificates out for both of our groups for the amazing effort we have put into our time to raise money (we raised about $175 for them, YAY!!!!) || YAYYYY!!! We finally went to the SPCA today and it was awesome. We first met Hayley, who then answered our questions, then she took us on a tour of the SPCA. We saw some really cute animals, and a PIG! Oh my gosh!!! I love pigs... It was called Chester!! and there was a lamb there as well, SOOO cute!!! It even stuck its head through the fence just as I was taking a picture of it!!! Oh My Gosh. It was too cute! Then Heather wiped goat saliva on me and Emily. We saw some dogs and cats, and then we gave our donated stuff and the money we raised to Hayley. I just want to say a HUGE thank you to Shaes Grandmother, and Emilys dad. With you we wouldn't be able to go!!!! The SPCA was awesome, and I was really pleased with our efforts in fundraising, and donating. We managed to raise around $175!!! We might just ring Hayley, or send the SPCA a letter to thank them for showing us around the SPCA. and making our day enjoyable. || YES!!!!!!! we finally managed to go to the SPCA i cant believe it actually happened. Te first ting we did was meet up with Haley, she took us into this small room where we can ask her all our questions. After that we looked at all the farm animals and i wiped goat saliva on Emily; it was an achievement XD. we then looked at all the animals in the adoption center, we looked at: dogs, kittens, cats,rabbits, Guinea pigs, lamb (singular) and Riley the goat. after we toured the SPCA we got taken back to the room where we asked Haley the questions and we gave the SPCA what we raised for them. It was an AMAZING day we all enjoyed ourselves and I would like to thank all the parents that provided us with transport. ||

Hopefully it turns out well. ||  || Today our group rang the SPCA again, and arranged a possible date to go visit the SPCA, which is next Thursday.

I wasn't here. || Today, me and Heather have started filling out the sheet to show that we are going to the SPCA on Friday. We thought that we would try and phone them to ask how long we're all going to stay there for but it was almost the end of the day so just left it there for now. ||  || Today shae-lyne and I have filled out the sheet giving details on whats happening on Friday. ||
 * 28/10/09 || I'm trying to sort out some of my old toys to give to the SPCA...Maybe I could go around the neighbourhood asking if they have any old things?
 * 29/10/09 || This morning I asked my mum if she could ask the people at her work to fundraise for the SPCA because we don't have enough money. We are officially going tomorrow!! Yay!!! xD I'm gonna buy Shae's Gran some chocolate xD I wanna see horses.. || This morning, I asked my mum if she could ask her friends at work to fundraise for the SPCA because I think we don't have enough money to give them when we go.

 * 30/10/09 || Yes,happiness. We went to the SPCA today! It was really interesting and fun, lots of our questions got answered. There were so many cute animals :D There was a lamb and it was soooo cute but it had a bad leg..and this goat Riley started sucking on someone's fingers *cough* Heather *cough* and she wiped it all on me. Grrr, goat saliva. The rabbits all ran away from us, we must have been scary. Haley was very happy with the things we donated. xD There were massive dogs jumping up at us from behind the glass and it was scary :D But it was so fun, and all the kittens were so cute, and we saw GUINEA PIGS.Oooh. Hmm..what else did we see? Hens. They were cool. And...hmm.What else? Can't remember. || Today, it was the time of our lives. The time for us to make a difference to the SPCA! and yes...... WE WENT TODAY!!! When we got there, we got to meet up with Haley and she took us all into a room where we could ask her our questions. That took about 20 minutes-ish. Then we got to see the farm animals first, 2 goats (we all loved Riley), a few hens/ chickens, a lamb (cuteness!), a pig, only in the distance though and he was called Chester. We went in the stable and we saw these rabbits bouncing around but they thought we were scary so we were un-loved by rabbits. There were few guinea pigs as well, reminded me of my friend, Kira...

media type="custom" key="4435727" E.g. Today we made our permission slip that will allow us to go and do our inquiry topic. We also answered all of our questions. Our next step is getting all of the materials that we need.** ||
 * **Date** || **Reflection:
 * 13.09.09 || We made up some questions and decorated our page on the wikispace. Heather joined the wiki and the same as Shae-Lyne. And Emily had already joined last week. ||
 * 14.09.09 || Today we managed to get the daily reflection table up and our 'question, hypothesis and actual answer' table so that we can get our questions out of our head. Our whole group got questions together and sorted out the open and closed ones. ||
 * 17.09.09 || Our group has been on task today. However, we still need to work on our questions because we have more closed than open so that will be our main target, to work on our questions. Otherwise, we have come up with what we will be saying to the people/ person on the phone to the SPCA but we need to figure out our transport to the SPCA. ||


 * **Date:** || **Reflection:** ||
 * 18.09.09 || Today, we had our cake stall and we made great progress. We managed to raise about $85.00 + and Mr Read was really proud of us. The whole group was really satisfied and overall it was a really good group effort. :D ||
 * 19.09.09 || Emily managed to get some towels, blankets etc. It is a good start to our collection of what the SPCA needs. ||
 * ​ 20.09.09 ||  ||
 * 21.09.09 || Today, our group has been on task. Inquiry was at period 5 so Emily was at art extension at the time. Shae-Lyne started and finished writing a letter to her dad's boss, Tony, to ask him if my dad could have a day off so that our group will have transport for the day we go to the SPCA. So we are planning to phone the SPCA tomorrow to have a reasonable date and time to go there. ||
 * 22.09.09 || Today we called the SPCA to ask some questions about what they do and what they need. We also tried to organise a date, and got numbers to the education organisers, and they promise to call us back ||
 * 23.09.09 || Today the SPCA did not call us back, but we persevered and continue to work our butts off, today we also ||
 * 24.09.09 || Today we called the SPCA again, to find out a date that will be okay for us to visit them. They will ring us back and give us a reasonable date to visit. ||

 * 27.10.09 || Today, Mr Read has told us that we're a bit behind on our work and also on our wikispaces. So I (Shae-Lyne) went on and did some work on our wikispaces. I think we all need to start asking for more people to transport us to the SPCA and we need to find our A.S.A.P before this Friday. MR Read has said that he will conference with everyone who is going to the SPCA tomorrow, especially our group, since we are a bit behind with the work. We will have to give it our best effort this week because we have almost finished. :) ||


 * Date: || Daily Group Reflection: ||
 * 28/10/09 || Today, our group has talked to Mr Read about what we are doing about Friday. This morning, I (Shae-Lyne) called my granny (Dorothy) and she says she will make an arrangement with her boss so she will be the one who is taking my group there (SPCA). Emily's dad will also be taking us too since we need 2 parent helpers for the two groups going on Friday. ||
 * 29/10/09 || Today, our group has been organised and me (shae-lyne) and emily have decided that we will give them the money as it is, not in a cheque, since it will use a lot of time. I think that we are going to have a great day tomorrow at the SPCA by the looks of the weather. We're going to put our best foot forward and make the last bits and bobs count!! :) ||
 * 30/10/09 || Today, we had our trip to the SPCA. We had a lot of fun and we learned a lot from Hayley, our Tour Guide for the day. She answered in full detail when we asked her our questions and we talked to her about our pets from the SPCA. We all thought it was great to have a trip there because we knew we had made a positive difference to the community we live in! :-) ||

=== Hello, my name is (name) and I am currently a year 8 student at Bucklands Beach Intermediate. We have been challenged with the question ‘ How can I make a positive change to the community I live in?’ We have chosen a issue to help with, and we chose the SPCA. We chose this issue because we wish to help the animals and we wish to help by fundraising and donating. We have already raised around $85.00 and we want to raise some more.===
