On Monday, the first day of term, we got to do a fun day about 4 different countries. They were China, Japan, Vietnam and Hawaii.
China
In China, we learnt about how they celebrate the new year. In China they celebrate the new year by having a big lantern festival to mark the new year and the new life of China. To celebrate this we made lanterns with big dragon on the inside and this trued out to be an amazing project.
Japan
In Japan, we did a scavenger hunt and there were six challenges. The first challenge was to find out how to say "New years" in Japanese, another one of the challenges was to find out how to make these traditional noodles. Then after we had found out how to make them we had to to try them. This was a really fun experiences.Vietnam
In Vietnam, we learnt how to make fresh Vietnamese spring rolls. The first thing we had to do was wash our hands. Then we were able to start to make our spring rolls. The first thing we had to do was pick out our fillings to go in the spring roll, the second thing we had to do was dip the rice paper in room temperature water. Next we had to put our filling in side the wet rice paper and the last thing we had to do was roll it up. Then we got to eat it and it was really yummy.Hawaii
In Hawaii we learnt to do a traditional Hawaiian dance called pearly shells.Here is a link to the song we did Link
Hawaii was really fun.
