Kia ora, Bonjour and O sum one em! In term 3 Room 1 chose to learn about other cultures around the world!!

Here is the definition we created on what a culture is

'A Culture is a way of life made up of beliefs, traditions and customs, formed by family, community and surroundings.'
Check out the things that make up our cultures!!! We are all different and yet have lots of similarities too!!!

So far we have learned about Bruneian culture and Vanuatuan Culture from Mr Banks and Garry Milford who visited Vanuatu in the holidays. He showed us a powerpoint and some amazing dances and ornaments! Thanks Mr Milford! We learned heaps!

Mr Banks showed us photos from his time in Brunei as a teacher. We learned that it was stinking hot and the kids there had to learn lots of languages at their schools. School finished at 12.30 because it was so hot! Wow that'd be cool.

Nicole's Mum Lori spoke to us about growing up in Canada - they have amazingly cold winters there where it gets down to -50! They are pretty tough there and do lots of winter activities such as ice hockey and sledding. There is also lots of wildlife to deal with and enjoy - deal with skunks!!! Enjoy grizzly bears and wolves!!!

Keetra's Dad Steve spoke to us about South Africa and growing up in a very multicultural society. He talked about South Africa's troubled past and some of the worries they have. He also shared some fantastic photos of the wildlife there including the BIG 5 - Lions, Cheetahs, Warthogs, Giraffes and Antelopes!
