The Vardo

Next Wednesday we will be having an exciting day as our learning about "homes" continues.  On Monday a vardo - a life sized bow-topped wagon - will be arriving at school and Year 1 will be learning all about traveller culture during the week. The children will be experiencing a special day on Wednesday when 2 visitors from Traveller Education service will be teaching us some Romany words, and dancing.  We will also be building "bender tents" and finding out what it is like to live in a vardo.  Then there will be time in the day for some art work based on Traveller Culture. 

Wow! What a great time we'll have and so much to find out.
Come to our class assembly on the last Friday of the half term, the 21st October to find out what we have learnt.
