21st and 22nd May
We had a couple of special events to finish our Arts Week.
Yesterday, after doing some painting and reading some more of Kensuke's Kingdom (during which we tracked the voyage of the Peggy Sue using an atlas), we had the opportunity to do some African drumming using djembe drums and other traditional instruments. This was an excellent session which everyone enjoyed.
Today was International Day at school and we all had eight different activities during the day, each focusing on a different language or country of the world. There was a wide range of activities from dancing (including Italian folk dancing and Irish dancing), art and craft work (e.g. Polish paper cutting), quizes and using the computer to create a fact/picture montage about a particular country.
School has now broken up for its half-term holiday and re-opens on Monday 1st June.
