We began our study by brainstorming a list of things we ALREADY knew about Talley's ..
Then we wrote some "I wonder?" questions such as
"I wonder how many boats they own?"
"I wonder how many factories they own?"
"I wonder how many different flavours of icecream they produce?"
These were questions we wanted to find out answers to and this was the basis for our research

Here is a photo of Talley's headquarters which is at the Motueka Wharf
We took a photo of one of the huge freighting trucks used to transport Talley's products around the South Island
This is a photo of the Rongatea 11. We created some collage boats based on this old fishing boat.
Our class is studying Talley's as part of our Discover Tasman inquiry topic. We have found some information on the www.talleys.co.nz website. Most of us have realised what an important part of our community the Talley's company is - nearly everyone in Motueka knows at least one person who works there.
Miss Robinson took some pupils down to the Talley's shop at lunchtime to do research. Some pupils have emailed Talley's and asked if someone could come to our school and speak to us about the company.
A group of pupils also took a trip to New World to see which Talley's products were stocked there.
(Miss Robinson found some delicious Talley's icecream in her freezer and we got to taste it..YUM!)

Sounds like you're getting on well with your Discover Tasman project. I've seen some of the projects that other schools are working on, and I know you'll be glad that your class is a part of this big, district-wide, project. Keep up the good work!
