Guess what we have been learning?
We are becoming active problem-solvers!
This means we also have to think critically about information we see or hear about.
Ms. Burtenshaw showed us lots of different pictures of all sorts of mysteries!
The one we wanted to solve was a picture of a really, really short man.
This is him:

We asked lots of questions like:
Who is this person?
Is this photo real or a fake?
How could we find out?
What information can we trust?

We wrote the problem down and then we made a KWHL chart.  By Liam
                                                           

We knew he was really small and that the photo looked real.
We need to find out if the shoe was a giant shoe and if the photo was real.
We listed some ways we could find this out.  We put the internet, books and asking people.   By Aliciia

It was hard finding information but Ms. Burtenshaw googled – shortest man
and we found some u-tube clips of the worlds shortest men.  By Sophie

That was funny watching them dance!!  By Sean

They weren’t the same man in the photo so we had to search some where else.
We clicked onto the photo image and it gave us some clues.  By Sophie

We found a video that showed this man!! His name is Ping Ping. 
He was on TV with the tallest man in the world!!   By Serenity and Emma

The Cutest man in the world. Ping Ping is littler than the shoe. 
He is 31 years old and lives in Mongolia, inner China. The shoe belongs to the tallest man in the world.   By Brendan

We investigated about Ping Ping the smallest man in the world. He is 74cm tall. He is up to my knee. 
We watched videos on you tube, it was funny. 
He is smoking and the phone is so big!!  By Thomas

We believed that the picture was real because we had seen lots of different videos.
It made sense that the shoe was from the tallest man in the world!!
Ms. Burtenshaw checked the Guinness book of Records to make sure.

Problem solving is so much fun!!
