Global Awareness Week

Dear Parents
Sorry for the lack of blogs recently!
Anyway next week we have some activities which are lnked to different countries around the World.  We will be baking some banana muffins, for most groups on Thursday,for you to sample from the "Cafe" on Friday afternoon and will make extra so the children can also have a taste.  We are looking at which countries different foods, particularly Fairtrade, come from and then using the World Maps and Globes to find these countries.  Also as part of our week we will be finding out about bananas, hence the muffins!
 On Tuesday Kwame is visiting to show the children some toys made from recycled materials and then showing us how to make a ball from a carrier bag.  Thank you to all those who have already supplied a bag if not please send in a carrier ready to turn into a ball on Tuesday, thank you.
Mr Farrington will be talking to the class about farm animals in India and showing some photos he took on his previous trip to the country. 
I'm sure the children will have a great week.
If you have any empty boxes, packets or labels from Fairtrade goods we'd love to look at them and try to find the country bof origin.
Have a good weekend.
