Don't we all look wonderful? What a colorful class we had today in gorgeous costumes.
OUR CLASS IS LIKE THE
UNITED NATIONS BECAUSE...
We come from 11 different countries
9 children can speak 2 languages
We are learning how to speak Chinese
We share and work together peacefully
We care about others
We care about the world
We help people if they are hurt

At the United Nations Day assembly we learned a little about life in different countries, how things have changes so much in the last 50 years, and ways to help make our world a better, happier place.
74 flags were paraded, representing the countries the children in the Primary School and ECC come from.
We also watched a man called Matt who danced his way around the world. Here's the video clip:
After the assembly we had an incredible feast in the classroom. Parents supplied food from countries such as Angola, China, Greece, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Ukraine, India, Japan, Canada, Italy, Korea, Hong Kong and USA. Children had to 'go around the world' sampling food and getting stickers from each country in their passports. It's amazing how they will try new foods if they can get a sticker for it!!
Thanks to the parents for the yummy food, and for helping us celebrate today.
There are many more UN Day photos here.
What else have we done this week?
Zoe's Mom taught us about Rosh Hashanah. The children decided that slices of apple dipped in honey was fantastic! We also loved the special bread for Rosh Hashanah, shaped like a clock, symbolizing the passing of time.
More Rosh Hashanah photos here.
Sandy's Mom came in to read a story about the Statue of Liberty, and we had more food! The star-shaped sugar cookies, colored red, white and blue were loved.
This afternoon, we started our science unit "Balance and Motion." You can see photos here of children finding ways to balance the tricky crayfish using clothespins as counterweights. They had to answer the question, "How do you know if something is balanced?"
Several people have commented on how much they are enjoying the blog. I am amazed at how many people look at it! Look at the statistics below of who is viewing the blog...
