Multicultural week

Last week there were so many things going on for our multicultural week. On monday we had an African drum work shop. We learnt different rhythms in the work shop and later in the day all classes showed their performances to the rest of the school. It has to be said reception class were fantastic and everyone was very impressed!

On Tuesday Helli came in to speak to us about Christianity and on Wednesday Tasnim came in to talk about Islam.

During multicultural week we were also learning about Australia. We produced some beautiful aboriginal dot paintings, made some yummy fairy bread and made didgeridoos and boomerangs. Ava brought in a didgeridoo for us to have a look at and her brother Oliver kindly played it for us! Take a look below to see all the fun things we have been up to!

This week we were learning the story of 'The Gingerbread Man'. We decided that it would be fun to make our own gingerbread men biscuits, so on Monday we were busy writing shopping lists of all the ingredients we would need. On Tuesday we made our gingerbread men and they were absolutely delicious!!! After we made our (very yummy) gingerbread men we thought about why it was important to use a recipe and then see if we could sequence the gingerbread recipe in the correct order.

For the last 2 weeks we have been busy preparing for and learning about Chinese New Year. So on Thursday we were able to celebrate the start of Chinese New Year by having a Chinese New Year party! We paraded our Chinese dragons that we had made around the playground and played music, it was so much fun! After we were able to try out some Chinese cuisine, which was very yummy indeed!

Mrs Hickey and Bellamina!

Last week we had a visit from Mrs Hickey and her new baby Bellamina. We were all very excited to meet Bellamina and we all thought she was adorable! She was very quiet however, and slept the entire time she was in school! Hopefully they will come and visit us again soon!
