Grade 2 International Lunch

For the PYP Unit of Inquiry - Where We Are in Place and Time, Grade 2 students held an international lunch for parents as part of their learning: People can be enriched by their own cultures and the cultures they connect with throughout their lives.

In this video, Grade 2 students show how cultures have enriched their lives through music and by sharing their individual culture boxes. Each class performed an Orff ensemble with an original composition, based on a song from one of the nationalities in their class. The culture boxes were a collection of items that each student felt had enriched their experience of culture.

MUSIC, ART, JAPANESE,

MOTHER TONGUE

Through collaboration with the Homeroom teachers and the Japanese, Art and Music teachers, Grade 2 students inquired into what culture is, similarities and differences between cultures and cultural experiences that affect us. The performance was held on Friday January 20, 2012.
