Cultural Questioning

We have been learning and thinking about our culture and what culture means. We looked at this photo and wrote down some questions we could ask her. 

Wednesday's Writing with Whaea Molia!

Hey Team I hope you are being good for Whaea Molia! She said that she enjoyed working with you yesterday so keep up the good work!

I heard you came up with some excellent questions about our picture yesterday so here is another one.  I would like you to apply this thinking model to it today:

SEE - what do you see in this picture?

THINK - What do you think is going on here?

WONDER - Now what are you wondering? What questions would you ask?

Mrs A - I can see a young girl standing on a crocodile!

I think she is trying to jump off him and go for a swim.

I wonder if the crocodile will try and eat her when she goes for a swim.

 

A bit of Thai Culture

This term we have to write and present a speech to the class about what culture means to us. Mrs A broght in her head piece from Northern Thailand to show us some Thai culture.  We had to write down some examples of how this hat reflected culture. It was really tricky but this is what we came up with.

* The style and shape of the hat reflects their culture.
* The materials they have used to create it reflect their culture.  They have used beads, metal,  fabric,feathers and coins.
* The coins are from their country.
* The colours are bright.
* The designs that they have put on the metal parts reflect their culture.
