Let's Celebrate!

Room 1A's Inquiry focus for Term 4 is 'Celebrations'. We are going to be learning about celebrations around the world and comparing and contrasting these celebrations with the ones we take part in in New Zealand. Karyn (Our wonderful teacher aide) brought in some carp flags that she used as part of Children's Day celebrations when she was living in Japan. We learnt you fly one carp for each family member and that the different colours and sizes represent different members of the family. It took three of us to hold up the black kite which represents the father! We are looking forward to celebrating Diwali soon and have been busy making rangoli patterns to decorate our classroom.
