This term we have individually researched a country or city to discover
'How would my life be different if I grew up in ............?'
Back in Week 2 of this term we discussed the differences our environment can have on our upbringing and looked at a few examples. The children then had time to browse through a large amount of books and decide which area of the world they would like to explore. We had places such as the Amazon, Rwanda, Jamiaca, Sweden, Mexico and Kenya chosen.
Over the next few weeks they decided on questions, researched, took notes and made decisions on our to present their work. They also had to come up with a conclusion on where they would prefer to grow up, NZ or their chosen country.
Now in Week 8-9 it has been time to share their new knowledge with the class. They were assessed by one of their peers and by their teacher. It has been a fascinating time, learning about so many different areas of the world and just how it would be to live as a child in that country. Almost all concluded that life in NZ is just about perfect, though we may now have a few students with a great desire to travel in the future!
