Multicultural day!

Last week the whole school was involved in a multicultural day. Many different cultures were looked at across the school and in Beech class we learnt about Native Americans.

It was great fun! First we were all put into tribes where we came up with a name and a symbol to represent our group. We learnt about the symbolism of colours and pictures and then used these to design and make a head dress and paint each others faces. It was easy to see who belonged to each tribe!

Later we found out all about 'Gods eyes,' which the Native American people used to make as a symbol of good luck. We all had a go at making one of these. We also listened to some stories and enjoyed reading Brother Eagle, Sister Sky.
