Round the World Day

We spent a whole day looking at different cultures and places around the world. 

The Reception classes looked at India and had great fun making elephants, rangoli patterns and special indian coconut sweets.

Indian Coconut Sweets

Year 1 visited France and Italy.  They set up a European Cafe and ate croque monsieur, pizza, fresh lemonade, croissants and chocolate spread.  They also made the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Eiffel Tower.

In Year 2 the children visited Kenya and Uganda.  Valerie Taiwo from Culture Connect spent a morning dressing the children in African costumes and teaching them African dancing and singing.

Our thanks go to all the parents who volunteered to help on the day with cooking, teaching different languages, cutting, sticking and lots of washing up!   Thanks also to EMAS for lending us so many lovely artefacts.

What a brilliant time we all had!!!
