Our Inquiry into Culture and Unique Knighton 4

During term 1 we have been focusing on the different cultures in our rooms.

We Tuned In - by doing a post box activity with different questions about cultures in R4.  Here are our brainstorms

We Found Out - we practiced interviewing by hot seating our friend MukAah.

We split into 6 groups to represent some of cultures present in our class

• India
• Samoa
• Kiribati
• Cambodia
• Vanuatu
• Pakistan

Samoa

Vanuatu

Camobodia

Pakistan

India

Kiribati

We Sorted Out and Drew Conclusions- We decided to make documentaries about these cultures and interview our friend who is from there.  To collect some of the information we discovered about these places we created Kidspiration mind maps.  Here is one to look at:

We Went Further - We also completed an art activity that reminded us of the culture we were inquiring into.  Here are some pics of the great ideas:

Vanuatu profile masks - YouMic and ParKyl

Vanuatu profile masks - AshSar and KatVit
