How are Cultures and Traditions Expressed through dance

a comic strip!

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 through dance? we had a performance from the Boys High Pacifica group, a performance from St Peters Pacifica group and a Drumming workshop. I enjoyed the Boys Hight performance the most because they had a variety of songs. Something new I learnt was that St Peters and Boy Hight have a pacifica group.

St James the Great



WALT: Recognise how StJames lived a life follwing Jesus andspreading the good news.

Our school is named St James because a man called James helped build our school. St James showed he follwed Jesus because he got his head chopped off for spreading the good news about Jesus. An interesting fact about St James is that he was one of the fist deciples to die for spreading the good news about Jesus

Tui Bird 2



WALT: present the information I have learnt during my inquiry simply and clearly so that others can gain the most inportant information from my presentation.
This voicethread explains what I have learnt during my iquiry on the Tui Bird. Something I think I did really well during this inquiry process was finding out information on the Tui because I used many different ways to find information. Next time I do an inquiry something I could inprove in is learning about a different animal because otherwise I will be learning the same things. The part I liked best about doing an iquiry was making a creative way to desplay it becasue it was fun choosing how to desplay it.
