This week room 4 started its new major inquiry about cultural differences and practices. We began our inquiry by finding out where our different ancestors originated from. We used this information to gauge the different cultures that could be represented in the year 3 & 4 syndicate.
Afterwards room 4 watched a short video clip about a group of teenagers from Sudan who learn first hand about the cultural practices that exist in America that are vastly different from their own country.
After viewing the video clip and discussing what the Sudanese boys had experienced the students worked in pairs to record their ideas about what they thought culture was. Below is a collection of all the ideas.
We also watched a video clip about what it is like to go to school in Japan. We used the information to create a compare & contrast chart that compared New Zealand schools to Japanese schools.
