Cultural fun Day

On Monday, the first day of term, we got to do a fun day about 4 different countries. They were China, Japan, Vietnam and Hawaii.

China

In China, we learnt about how they celebrate the new year. In China they celebrate the new year by having a big lantern festival to mark the new year and the new life of China. To celebrate this we made lanterns with big dragon on the inside and this trued out to be an amazing project.

Japan

In Japan, we did a scavenger hunt and there were six challenges. The first challenge was to find out how to say "New years" in Japanese, another one of the challenges was to find out how to make these traditional noodles. Then after we had found out how to make them we had to to try them. This was a really fun experiences.

Vietnam

In Vietnam, we learnt how to make fresh Vietnamese spring rolls. The first thing we had to do was wash our hands. Then we were able to start to make our spring rolls. The first thing we had to do was pick out our fillings to go in the spring roll, the second thing we had to do was dip the rice paper in room temperature water. Next we had to put our filling in side the wet rice paper and the last thing we had to do was roll it up. Then we got to eat it and it was really yummy.

Hawaii 

In Hawaii we learnt to do a traditional Hawaiian dance called pearly shells.
Here is a link to the song we did Link
Hawaii was really fun.

My favourite one was Vietnam 

Have you ever been to one of these places?         

   

Drink to think think to drink and eat play learn (PMI charts)

Drink to think, think to drink.
Is when we have our own drink bottles and they stay at school and we have a challenge that is we have to drink 1 bottle before lunch the 1 bottle after lunch.  

Positive	Minus	Interesting
You can never forget your drink bottle	You have to fill it up	I don’t get thirsty
You always have something to drink	It has to stay in the tray	Makes you work harder
It makes you think harder	Sometimes the lids get changed	You always have something to drink from

Play,Eat,Learn .

Is when when play before we eat.

Positive	Minus	interesting
We get to eat inside	Sometimes I get hungry at play time	We eat inside instead of out side
I don’t get hungry when i’m learning	Not time to eat much	We have like a second breakfast with our sandwiches
The sandwiches make me not hungry	It gets messy	It makes me work harder

 I like this changes because it has helped my learning.

Whats your favourite change?
