Term 3 Focus

This term we are focussing on our cultural backgrounds and identity in ESOL.  First we are looking at what our names mean and their origin.  We will be asking our family to help us find information as we research and may use the internet to find some of the meanings.  We will present the information on a digital name tag, using the iPads.  During our learning we will focus on some key vocabulary, e.g. heritage, culture, origin, identity, etc.  I will post some photos soon of our work.

Here is a photo of one student's work:





The student wrote their name using ColourBox App then cut it out on PicCollage then added text using stickers or background colour to highlight.  The name tag has information about what the name means, where it comes from and what the student likes about their name.
