FUNASIA

We have started our inquiry FUNASIA this week with lots of mucking in about Asia. Firstly Mrs Souness gave us some secret puzzle pieces that we had to put together in groups. The finished puzzles gave us clues about our inquiry topic. Next we brainstormed what we knew about Asia and came up with some questions about what we wanted to find out. Today we started the finding out stage of inquiry. Mrs Ramsay read us some books about the Chinese New Year. Then she showed us a clip of a lion dance. It was so much fun. Finally we played a game where we had to guess what her secret object was. We guessed right and it was chopsticks. Everybody had a go at using them to pick up pieces of lego. We worked well together encouraging each other. There were lots of laughs and we all managed to pick up something.

We finally finished our masks and this afternoon we got to put them on and dance to the lion dance. It was so awesome.
