This week we began tuning in to our new unit of inquiry ‘Who We Are’. First we did a think boxes thinking routine to see what we already knew and to help us begin to generate some questions at the beginning of the unit. Then we played a guess who game with special items from our country, culture, religion and communities. We had fun guessing which item belonged to each person. We had lots of discussions about what some of the items were used for. For our literacy this week we used the writing process to plan, draft, edit and publish a piece of factual writing about ourselves. We also read ‘The colours of us’ to explore the word ‘diversity’ from our central idea. Then we mixed shades of paint until we had a close match to our own skin colour. We then used oil pastels to draw our self portraits.
