• Year 4 Cultural Week

  Fri 19 May 2023

  Year 4 had a wonderful time learning about Africa, with a special  focus on Somalia.  The children participated in an African drums and dance workshop, where they learned about the music and dance that are so important in African culture. They also had the opportunity to create some beautiful African animal silhouettes and learn about Ndebele art. As part of our learning, we were fortunate to have some parents come and help us learn more about the Somalian culture. The children were able to taste some traditional Somalian food and enjoy a dance. We are so grateful to all of the parent helpers who came and shared this  experience with us. We are proud of the curiosity and open-mindedness that our students have demonstrated throughout this learning experience.
