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.
