OWIS Suntec<\/a> researched various beliefs and religions and made a group presentation.<\/span> They compared and contrasted not just beliefs, but also other components of culture in order to better appreciate the diverse world that we live in.<\/p>\nAs part of their transdisciplinary learning, in their music lesson, Grade 4 started experiencing music in culture by learning an Australian Aboriginal dance song, “Sesereeye”.<\/p>\n
In art, they learned the history and traditions of henna (mehndi) in Indian culture. They were then tasked to think of how to create their henna designs and draw on paper.<\/p>\n
During their period of inquiry into this unit, the Mid-Autumn festival celebration also took place at OWIS\u00a0Suntec, and students gained an understanding and appreciation of the different aspects of this festival. They created mooncakes out of paper as well as Chinese lanterns as part of the whole school celebration.<\/p>\n
