Hi Everybody,

Today and yesterday I have been learning about the Inuit people. and how they live in the polar climate. Here is a picture of were some of the Inuit communities are. There are four different groups stretching across northern Canada, Alaska and Greenland. Did you know the word Eskimo might be an indigenous word meaning raw meat eaters given to them by people south of were the Inuit live but there are a few different theories.

Inuk means one Inuit person, Inuuk is the the word for two Inuit people  and Inuit describes the people who live in Canada and Alaska. The people in Greenland call themselves Kalaallit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have also learnt about there culture and traditions like an inukshuk here’s a picture. They are used to point the way home if your lost.

 

Now I haven’t learnt about the Inuit alphabet but I think it looks like star wars writing so I’ve included a picture.

See you, Joe

 

Hi everyone. This is my happy photo for today. My friend kindly bought me these beautiful flowers and I am enjoying looking at them as I am working at home. I hope you are all having a good week of home learning so far.

Good morning, hope everyone is well.

I read Caspian’s last blog post with interest as I had not heard of Mongolian heavy metal. So I looked it up and played some for my family and one of my boys said, “Isn’t that The HU?” Apparently he is already quite keen on Mongolian heavy metal, I just didn’t know! The HU is a Mongolian heavy metal band.

Anyway, the reason I wanted to look it up (apart from Caspian’s recommendation) was because as I have been learning about the Arctic I have learnt that some tribes from the Arctic also use the throat singing, or growling, method. This is not compulsory to watch, but if you are interested this video tells you how to do the throat singing and also mentions the drums which are used. Drumming and dancing is popular with the Arctic people.

Thanks for taking our learning further, Caspian. I have to say, like Tanith, the heavy metal is not all to my taste, but the throat singing is interesting how it mirrors the sounds of nature.
