We have been studying New Zealand since January. We have learned about the land, the culture, the animals, and lots of other things. This week is Global Focus Week and the whole Lower School celebrates. We have seen kelp forests in K-1, we have smelled great food in 2-3, and there is a Marae in EC.
We were excited to start Global Focus Week too. The teachers came into school on the weekend and decorated everything. There are trees in the classroom, sheep on the walls, and decorations on the doorways. They also brought in lots and lots of food.
Here is what we thought about our first day:
SC - Martha and John came from New Zealand to talk with us about going into caves and white water rafting.
CD - I liked cooking the lentil coconut soup.
HH - I liked learning about the Marae. It was funny that in the past the women would stand in the front of visitors when they came. If there was an attack the women would die and the men would run away.
ESR - We watched a video about glow worms. They were really cool
TL - Some of the beaches have black sand that come from volcanoes. The Japanese took the sand to make steel.
AH - When they go to school kids do not have to wear shoes. They do have to wear hats to protect them from the sun.
IG - We danced our own 4-5 haka and made a small blokart model. I am not sure if ours will roll.
