Sharing from Ukraine and Serbia

Thank you to the Markovic family for the sharing about the Ukrainian and Serbian cultures. Gavriela's parents looked wonderful in their regional dress. We talked about how the clothes are all handmade, everything is colourful and decorative. We ate a Ukranian salad and a sweet pastry. Here are some photos.

Sharing from South Africa

Thank you to Taylor and her mum for some wonderful sharing about South Africa. We talked about the people, the environment and the animals and ate some South African dried sausage. Here are some photos of the visit.

Sharing from Japan

Christopher and his mum shared their Japanese culture this morning. We watched a Sumo wrestling competition on the tv. Then we made origami sumo wrestlers and then we had a wrestling competition. Christopher was the ultimate winner!

Sharing from India

Alina and her mum shared some of their Indian culture with us. Reshma taught us about the Indian festival Raksha Bandhan which is a friendship and protection festival. It was happening on exactly the same day in India! Each child gave another child a friendship bracelet - rakhi and then we ate some food. We had murukus, bajjis and bourbon biscuits. The beautiful tray is called an aarthi.

Sharing from Iraq

Ryan and his mum shared a story from the Iraqi culture and Ryan shared a few words from his language. The story was Aladdin's Lamp. Here are a few photos.
