A Very Busy Week!

We had a very busy week in St. George's Class last week, celebrating One World Week. We had lots of visitors to 'Russia' who came to learn about our country and get their passport stamped. We also had the opportunity to travel around the world, visiting the other countries set up in the classrooms around the school.

We visited; China, Madagascar, Tanzania, Finland, New Zealand, Ireland, Ivory Coast, Afghanistan, Mali, Peru, Norway, Canada and the Antarctic.

Which was your favourite? What did you learn?

We will be putting up some photographs of things we spotted on our tour of the world next week.

On Monday, we participated in a sponsored walk to raise money for the orphanage in Zambia that our school supports. If you still have sponsorship money to collect, please bring it in next week!

On Wednesday, we played in a World Cup football tournament.

On Thursday morning we had a special mass to celebrate St. Anthony of Padua's feast day and to congratulate our First Holy Communicants.

In the afternoon, we had an exciting assembly to celebrate One World Week. Each class showed the school something they had learned or made about their country. We sang a Russian folk song called 'Minka'. Everyone enjoyed it!

On Friday, we had our whole school photograph in the morning. In the afternoon we had a party in class- we tasted some sweet Russian blinis with honey and raisins, then had a dance to some super Russian music.

After school on Friday, some of the children came to International Evening. It was lots of fun! We tasted some delicious food from around the world, everyone came in different national costumes and there was dancing from different cultures. A great evening! Thank you to everyone that came and to those who worked so hard to make the evening such a success.
