How are Cultures and Traditions Expressed through dance

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 from the Boys High pacifica group,a St peters pacifica group and a drumming workshop. I enjoyed drumming workshop the most because i like using the drums. Something new I learnt was how to play the drums in the drummig workshop.

WALT: Present the info I have learnt during my inquiry simply and clearly so that others can gain the most important information from my presentation.

This voicethread explains what I have learnt during my inquiry on the short tailed bat somthing I think I did really well during this inquiry process was skimming scanning key words to summarise the main ideas. Because I wrote it in my own words. Next time I do an inquiry somthing I could inprove on is write open questions to help me find interesting and useful new information. Because I can find more useful information. The part I liked best about doing an inquiry was making the map and doing the things on it because it was fun and exciting.

The short tailed bat

\walt:Use blabberise to share information on our inquiry learning.

I used blabberise to make this video. The information i used is what i have found out so far during my inquiry on the short tailed bat. An interesting fact i have
found out about the short tailed bat is the closest relatives of the short tailed bat are the fisherman bats. And echolocation lets bats see in the dark.
