The chinese new year

In class we have been learning about china and their cultures.In my reading group we were learning about how the colour red, loud noises and bright lights are part of the chinese new year,we read story and did a photostory on it.

This term we have been learning about China, we have continued building on the inquiry skills we have learnt in term 2. We brainstormed open questions as a class and then delegated these out to pairs. The part of China Maria and I were finding out more about was China's food. We found our information on the Internet and from books. We used a data chart to make sure we triangulated all our information so we knew it was true. We then used movie maker to present our inquiry. Something I enjoyed was filming because it was really funny if you made a blooper. An interesting fact I found out was that you have to make lots of food 3 days before Chinese new year because if you used a knife it was real bad luck. My next learning step in inquiry is to always remembering to save my work.

St PeTErS PacficA GrOuP

During Week 1, we had a variety of learning experiences to tune us into ideas about our new big question for this term -how are cultures and traditions expressed throughdance? We had a performance for Boys High Pacifica group, a performance from St Peters Pacifica group and a drumming workshop. I enjoyed St peters dancing the mostbecause I got to dance in front of my freinds. Something new I learnt was that many cultures are expressed through dance.

TUATARA VOICETHREAD

WALT: Present the information i have learnt during my inquiry simply and clearly so that others can gain the most important information from my presentation.


This voicethread explains what I have learnt during my inquiry on the tuatara. Something I think I did really well during this inquiry process was finding the information because the tuatara was really hard. Something I could improve on is making my presention more colourful and puting backgronds on my titles because it was quite dull and the titles didn't stand out.
