Discover the Philippines
In this Year 5-8 Social Studies unit, students will explore aspects of the Philippines such as language, sport and dance and then compare what they have learnt with daily life in New Zealand.
The unit is designed in modules for teachers and students to select their interest areas. Modules may be completed independently or with teacher guidance.
At the end of the unit, students will have the opportunity to present their learning about the Philippines in a form of their choosing, depending on what modules were focused on.
