Our study on communities is well underway. Last week we focused on types of communities (rural, suburban, urban) and the people that live and work there. We moved onto learning about how communities have changed over the years. We looked at photographs and books from when our grandparents were children as well as old photographs of Port Kells. Afterwards, we worked in groups to create venn digrams to compare communities of the past to communities of the present present as well as to demonstrate our learning. This week, we continued our study by learning about basic human needs and wants. We were inspired by another group of children from Surrey and watched a YouTube video they had created describing the differences between needs and wants. After much discussion, we decided that we wanted to create our own video. First, we each drew a picture showing one of the basic human needs. Next,  we were provided with the following sentence stems:

I need ___________.

I want ___________.

 

Finally, here is the video we created this morning.

 

 

We hope you enjoy our video!
