Kiwiana

We asked the question, What is culture?
This a definition we liked ...
All the knowledge and values shared by a society
Everything a group of people think, how they behave, and what they produce that is passed on to future generations.

We wrote and drew the things that were important to us in our own cultural wheel. We then got together, in groups of three and talked about similarities and difference between our wheels.

After that we drew things that make us 'Kiwis' and discussed 'Kiwiana. We pasted them onto a chart.

The Oxford N.Z. Dictionary defines kiwiana as “Any of the many 'collectable', items redolent of New Zealand life and culture."

Go to Kiwiana Town to see some of the things that are important to us as KIWIS.







We then completed a cultural wheel that reflects the things that are important to us as New Zealanders.
