WALT:Follow an inquiry process.


This term we have been learning about China, we have continued building on the inquiry skills we have learnt in term 2. We brainstormed open questions as a class and then delegated these out to pairs.


The part of China Simone and I were finding out more about was China's Traditions, Beliefs and Religions. We found our information on the Internet and from books. We used a data chart to make sure we triangulated all our information so we knew it was true. We then used Movie Maker to present our inquiry.

Something I enjoyed was working with my best friend an learning how to use a new programme. An interesting fact I found out was that the Chinese light off fire crackers to scare off the bad spirits for the New Year also if Yin and Yang are balanced people are happy. My next learning step in inquiry is to try and find more information on my triangulated sheet.

WoW that is an AWESOME, effictive movie that you and Simone made Haylee. I liked how you Clearly displayed the information that you found out and most of all I liked how you kept me entertained with all of the different settings! Something that you could work on to improve your movie would be to mabye try to have both of you at the same time in it more often because with just one person it is a bit more boring but but overall yuor movie is AWESOME!:)

Hi Haylee
I really like the way you made your movie clear and made it creative by having lots of different locations around the school to make it more effective. Next time then maybe you should try to slow down a bit while your speaking. AWESOME!!!
