Culture

We have been trying to work out a definition for culture. 

Culture starts with the country you or your family come from. It is about the languages you speak. You might have special family food as part of your culture. You might have different styles of art or music. Culture effects the the activities you do with your family, the clothes you wear and how you celebrate special events.

We are going to investigate our own culture to share it with the class. 

We will find out and share:

A Map of our Country

Some key phrases from our language

Some important symbols and objects

You might also share:

Special Food

National clothing

Special beliefs

Music

Art

Traditions

Celebrations

In our class we have 11 different cultural groups.

Kiwi/ Nzers 12 children

Rarotongan 2

NZ Maori 1

Australian 1

Afghani/Pashto 1

Indian 1

Egyptian 1

African 1

Swiss 1

Dutch 1

We are going to investigate the cultural groups in other classes.

We will keep you posted on our progress.
