45 minute inquiry

Today we did a 45 minute inquiry for reading. We had to research about 4 topics, to start with all the teacher gave us were four pictures so we not only had to research them but we had to find out what they were. here are the for picture mrs mills gave us




Before I started researching I had some questions here they are:
What do the pictures have in common ?
What are totem poles and inuit boots made of ?
How do you throw a boomerang ?
Where are totem poles from ?

Here is what I found out about the four topics
Totem poles are carved from large trees mostly western red cedar by the indigenous people of the pacific coast of north america.  Boomerang is a thrown tool that is designed to circle back to the thrower. Traditionally they are made in Australia. They are used as a hunting tool as well as a sport. Toi carvings are carved out of wood are usually placed in front of a whare or a marae. Inuit boots are soft boots made out of reindeer skin and seal skin. They were worn by arctic aboriginal people called inuit people. The boots are also know as mukluk boots.
