Culture Vultures!

Grade 2 at Kensington became Culture Vultures for their last Unit of Inquiry this year.

The students now understand that culture goes beyond aspects that can be seen and heard such as food, clothing, flags and stories. Culture also relates to people's beliefs, values, attitudes and fears.

Various workshops and guest speakers, along with parent volunteers, helped the students to experience first-hand many different cultures. This gave the children a much deeper understanding of diversity within cultures and the realisation that a country may not hold just one culture but several.

Activities included a Maori cultural workshop, and flamenco and Adanta African dance workshops.
