EYE ON CHINA


We are back!!... and straight into discussing where our learning will take us this term.


ALL of our conversations centred
around our holiday experiences and
for most of us...that meant
KUNG FU PANDA!




So the obvious choice for
our inquiry this term is an
investigation of the culture
and traditions of CHINA.


As always we started by brainstorming what we already know about China. Instead of showing you our mindmap, we have used a new tool called WORDLE.

You can see there's lots we already know but as we were sharing our knowledge, we were asking just as many questions like:

  • How did they make the Great Wall of China? Why did they make it?

  • What does 'ancient' mean?

Watch out for our VOICETHREAD containing ALL our 'inquiry questions'...coming soon.

In the meantime, you can watch this videos about CHINA.
