On our last day before the children left for their week & a half long February holiday, our lovely Lindenwood parents joined us for a very special afternoon.
In France, Mardi Gras is widely celebrated and often includes two things: dressing up in costumes, and enjoying delicious crêpes! We certainly did those two things, and we also went a few steps further with this celebration. The primary school children had been studying the history and origins of France, so all of the children in the school dressed up in Gaul and Roman costumes. They were then ready to present some of their learning to their parents!
This February vacation marked the halfway point for our 2nd term of the school year, so it was an excellent time for our students to reflect back on the past half-term and share their discoveries with their families. Our youngest class, the Magnolias, have been studying time periods & families, so they presented their own personal family trees that they had created. The Wattle Class shared a song and some scientific findings about water and its cycle, and after that they debuted an episode of their own personal soap opera, “Wattle Ville”. Our oldest, the Cedar Class, shared what they had learned about the Gauls & Romans, and then they brought some science skills over to the kitchen to reveal what they had learned in their IPC unit “Shake It!” and creating milkshakes for everyone.
After all of these beautiful exchanges of knowledge, the children served up and enjoyed pancakes and crêpes together with their parents. It was a very special way to end this half-term, and we are really grateful to have such an involved community. We are onto our next half-term now for the upcoming 7 weeks, and we look forward to seeing what new topics our Lindenwood students will explore.
