Cultural Dinner Parties

This term our inquiry focus has been cultural dinner parties.  We first of all discussed and identified foods from a variety of cultures.  We found out where certain foods originated from.  We learnt how to write letters of invitation and how to make a balanced menu for guests.  We developed skills to create our own menus, taking into consideration the layout, colours, pictures and descriptions of food. Organising our dinner party was challenging as we had to work together with our groups, there was lots to take into consideration - a theme, placemats, name tags, decorations for the tables, dinner party manners and topics of conversation we could have with our guests.   Take a look at some of our finished products.
