“Trip Around the World” Day
Year 1/2 news
Year 1/2 had an exciting “Trip Around the World” Day, filled with creativity, exploration and teamwork. We began our journey in sunny Africa, where the children painted beautiful savannah scenes, thinking carefully about the colours, animals and landscapes found there.
Next, we visited our very own “Continent Café”, where we explored a range of foods from around the world. The children had the opportunity to look at and discuss ingredients from Asia, North America, South America and Africa, including ginger, coconut, bananas and avocado. They talked about what they liked and didn’t like — using their Spanish vocabulary to share their opinions.
Later in the day, the children became engineers as they took part in three exciting STEM challenges. Working in teams, they investigated structures from around the world and put their problem-solving skills to the test. They worked hard to build the tallest tower using spaghetti and marshmallows, create the strongest bridge using paper and cardboard, and construct the longest wall using wooden and plastic blocks.
It was a fantastic day of learning, discovery and global exploration!
