Finding China.

Today in reading we were using our key word stratergy to find out more infomation about China. Something I found really interesting was that they do lots of P.E because here we dont do much.

My Picture Trail

Walt: find out more about China to help us in our Dance Performance.

Last week Cindy's Dad came to share with us all about China. He gave us Moon Cake because Moon Cakes are a special Chinese Dessert and they eat them at their Autumn Celebration. An interesting fact I learnt was taht Chinese people write differently to us and they have a Traditional writing and a Simplified writng. I really enjoyed the part when he showed us the chinese numbers.

This is my pikikids of chinese dancing.

Maori language week

This is my pikikids on our maori language week activity of when we did some weaving with our teachers.

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 for Boys High Pacifica group, a performance from St Peters Pacifica group and a drumming workshop. I enjoyed St peters dancing the most
because I got to dance in front of my freinds. Something new I learnt was that many cultures are expressed through dance.
