Around the World in 5 Days...

Welcome to Australia!

We looked at maps and globes to find out where Australia is.

We even found it by completing a jigsaw puzzle.

We enjoyed creating traditional Aboriginal dot painting.

We chose an australian animal to paint.

Look at our masterpieces!

We had a special visit from Miss Harwood, who has lived in Australia.

She brought us lots of Australian items and told us all about living in Australia.

We had lots of fun trying to play the didgeridoo, a traditional Australian wind instrument.

We loved looking at the photographs.

Thank you Miss Harwood!

We made Lamingtons, a popular Australian dessert, by rolling sponge cake in chocolate and coconut. They were delicious!

We played native Austrlian games. Here we are playing tambil tambil, a spear dodging game where we had to try to dodge the 'spear' (or bean bag).

We also played Koabangan, and had to find hidden objects.

We designed and made our own boomerangs.

We looked at authentic Australian boomerangs to help us.

We also made Australian flags, and drew pictures of animals that are common to Australia to decorate our classroom.

Around the World in 5 Days!

Welcome to Mexico!

Mexico is very hot, mexicans wear sombreros, the mexican flag is green white and red.

We made 'Ojo de dios', or 'God's Eye's'.

Mexican children make these to represent their age by adding a different colour layer for each year of their life. The God's eyes also remind the children that God is looking after them.

We used the colours green, white and red from the mexican flag.

This is Mexico's football shirt.

Look at our bookmarks and flags.

We cut out Aztec Sun shapes.

Then we decorated the suns with Aztec designs and bright colours.

Aztec suns need a face. We wanted our suns to look happy!

Look at our colourful Aztec suns.

We ended the week by tasting chocolate brownies with marshmallows from America, lamington cakes from Australia and tortillas with salsa from Mexico. Yum Yum!!

We learnt how to line dance!

It was such fun, even the dinner lady joined in!

Step to the left! Step to the right!

All together now!
