Tuesday afternoon is philosophy time in Room Six. We usually start with a shared book, this week we read the story "The Bunyip of Berkeley's Creek" by Jenny Wagner.
It is about a confused creature (the bunyip) who is not sure what he is, who he is, or whether he is handsome.
We then have a chance to listen to, or respond to some questions that make us think about what we have heard in the story. Some of the questions from our discussion this week were:
- why didn't the bunyip know what he was?
- is WHAT we are the same as WHO we are?
- how do we find out who we really are?
- can we find out who we are by looking in the mirror?
Keep an eye out on the class blog for more ways room six is using a 'philosophical' way of thinking.
