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!
