Cultural Festival

Dear parents/caregivers.

The Cultural Festival is on the 30th which is Thursday this week.  This will take place at Malaeola in the evening.

Please ensure you allow plenty of time for travel, finding a parking and a good seat inside.  The festival begins promptly at 6:00pm.

Remember that the children will need to sit with their dance groups.

Room A1 and A5 students have combined to create different dance groups.  The girls from the two classes will dance as one group and the boys dance together in a different group.

Remember to dress the boys in the black outfits as according to the uniform letters sent out earlier this term.

I am looking forward to another successful Cultural Dance Festival ofcourse with your support.

EGYPT

In topic, we are learning about Ancient Egypt.  This is keeping in line with the Cultural Festival, learning about different cultures.  Our school value for the term is also - Show No Distinction.  

We show no distinction when we include others in our play and in our learning.  We show no distinction when we show respect to everyone that we meet and when we learn about other cultures that are different from ours because we want to learn new things.

The children have also learnt that the Egyptian people had a special alphabet that is so different to the alphabet we know today.

Last week, the children learnt about the Egyptians and how they bury their loved ones.  This has been an interesting session because they did things differently back then compared to how we bury our loved ones in our days.

We will post our learning photos during topic very soon.
