International Week 2016
It's that time of year again, Brookside School have been gallivanting off around the world exploring different countries and learning about what life is like somewhere else. As I'm sure you would expect, the Riverbank have really enjoyed their travels, read on to find out where they have been!
The Rabbits and year 1 have been learning about Spain and took part in lots of Spanish activities. It has been a very busy week for the Rabbits as not only have they been on a Spanish adventure, they have also been learning lines and making costumes for their 'Room on a Broom' play. Miss Dixon says "Please practise your lines with your child at home.'
The Dragonflies have also had an exciting week! They joined year 2 to learn about Mexico. They really enjoyed recreating their own Mayan art, comparing English and Mexican life, making a Mexican flag, using an atlas to find where Mexico is, learning a Mexican song and also learning about the "Day of the Dead" festival. If that wasn't enough, they also visited Warwick Castle! The children had a wonderful day and even got to go down to the Dungeons and see what life was really like all those years ago.
The Otters have also been exploring a Spanish speaking country! They joined with year 4 to learn about Brazil. They took part in Brazilian drumming and have made stunning carnival masks.
