You have full access to this site with your Mathletics sign in. Sikh Temple Today we visited the Sikh temple at the bottom of Stubbs Road. We were taken on a tour and given a very informative presentation about the 10 founding Sikh Gurus. Today we started a new unit of inquiry - How We Express Ourselves. As a provocation activity the grade 5 students were divided into two distinct cultural groups and role played the rules associated with the made up culture. Here are some of their thoughts from our reflection discussion:
Why did we do this activity? "To get into other people's shoes" "We are learning about cultures for the new unit. It is related to out new unit." "To see how we reacted to difference" "To see what it was like to be with people that are different to us and to see how they interact" Over the next few weeks we will be learning about lots of different religions and cultures, visiting many places of worship and researching what similarities and differences they have.

There were hundreds of shops to choose from with an endless supply of materials and prices. All groups ended up under their 100 HKD budget and fulfilled all their requirements. It was great to hear the bargaining techniques as the students negotiated deals with the shop owners. Many thanks to all the parents who came along as well.
