This week was One World Week at St Anthony's; with the help of Louis the Lemur (who just returned from his holiday) the children have been learning all about the country Fiji.
We have had fun watching some videos of traditional poi dancing and have had a go at twirling poi's.
The children made some shell and bead bracelets and some sensory beach collages.
We also made a tasty fruit salad using some of the tropical fruits that grow on the islands of Fiji. We added bananas, mangos, pineapple and papaya.
The children have also learned that there are four volcanoes on the islands of Fiji, we made some volcanoes using clay then did a science experiment to make a volcanic eruption!
First we moulded the clay into a volcano shape.
Next we used pipettes to add washing up liquid, food colouring,
baking soda and finally vinegar.
Then we watched the reaction take place!
Next week the children will receive their passports and travel around the world! Each class has been studying a different country and we will visit each one to learn about the different countries, as well as teach the older children about Fiji when they visit the nursery.
