We tried following an African dancing video as well as finding out more about the continent of Africa. 
In groups we then chose countries to research, we chose: Kenya, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Madagascar and Ghana. 
We created posters and presented them to the rest of the class.

Year 6 had a busy but enjoyable day learning about cultural diversity within our class. Several children gave presentations about the countries they originate from, and their experiences of living in those countries. We discovered several differences but also many similarities between the various…

To start Multicultural week we looked at Greece. 
We made Greek salad (with mixed reviews!) and looked at the evil eye tradition, by making our own evil eye charms out of salt dough.

We had a fantastic day today, visiting Williamson Park. We visited the Butterfly House where we learned about the life cycle of butterflies and also different habitats. It was a chance to experience the conditions in a rainforest, which is our current geography topic.  We also handled some of the…
