Term 1 - Week 10

This week we have really been getting into our cultural diversity unit. We were lucky enough to have Rory's Mum, Kirsty come and talk to us all about Scotland and Zeb's Dad, Paulo talk to us about Colombia.

This is a Sporran, it belongs to Rory's Dad. It is a pouch worn around the waist that hangs in front of the kilt.

Here is Rory with a sgian-dubh. This is a knife usually worn on the left leg.
Some of the children then decided to make their own kilt. Rory made this kilt and Shou is modelling it.


Here is one of the castles we have been busy making. The pan is to make little characters for our castles and then write and record a puppet show. Some children took their castles home on Friday, if your child did it would be great if they could bring it back to school so they could use it for their puppet show.

When Zeb's Dad came to school he talked all about life in Colombia and Zeb taught us how to count to 10 in Spanish. I wonder if anyone can still remember? He also showed us lots of photos from Colombia and talked about them. Here are two of the photos he showed us, can you remember what is happening in them?

We are looking forward to having more visitors next week to talk about their culture, feel free to get in touch if you would like to come and talk to us.

Don't forget that Room 8 are now in charge of Nayland Primary's worm farm. A big thank you to Amelie's dad, Felix who has given us some worms. They like lots of different foods, here they are with some paper and egg shells.
