Happiness at the heart of learning
Asia Week!
A great week of activities has been planned by Mrs Seymour, our Diversity Champion, to celebrate the continent of Asia as we return from half-term. Pupils have participated in Indian drumming and dancing, they have learnt to identify the countries which together form the continent of Asia, beautifully folded origami paper, as they have studied Japan, and created intricate Henna patterns as they have explored Mehndi. This week's artwork has been inspired by the Taj Mahal and PE has included the games Sepak Takraw (from Thailand), Chinlone (from Burma) and dance from Türkiye . Pupils have also learnt to count in Tagalog, the language of the Philippines. We have an amazing 46 languages spoken by the pupils within our school; learning from one another and sharing our knowledge of the world is fascinating.
