What Makes A Person Unique?

We've been discussing this question. First, we needed to come up with a definition of 'unique'.
Cassius said it meant - "better than fantastic". Ellee thought it meant - "what makes us different".

After some discussion, and Mr K giving some examples, we wrote on the whiteboard
- "Like no other".

We wondered about all of the things about a person that add up to make them unique.

Individually, we wrote a list of these things. Lots of ideas were shared, like 'language' (Matthew), 'food we eat' (Kyan), 'our interests' (Erin), 'abilities' (Logan), 'where our parents are from' (Blayde), and many more...

These ideas will help us begin to understand about the diverse culture and identities within our community (and the wider world). We have already been communicating aspects of our own culture when working on our mihi with Mrs Tudor. Next week we will be researching some countries competing in the Winter Olympics, linking with our statistics focus, and investigating the different cultures, languages and heritages that exist around the world.
