Today in Cultural Club we learnt about the African culture and the importance of music and dance to their culture. We played some African drums and learnt an African dance.
At Wednesday lunchtime, all students in Years 4-6 are invited to participate in the ‘Cultural Club’. Each fortnight students focus on a different culture. The Senior IEC students select specific elements of their culture that they would like to share with others. The students learn about specific art forms, cultural dress, food, songs and traditions.
The program promotes cultural learning experiences for all students and provides the IEC students with the opportunity to share their culture with students at Beaconsfield Primary School.
I would like to extend a big THANK YOU to students, parents and staff who participated in the recent book fair. It wasn’t only fun, it was also a very successful event raising approximately $1,000 for new library books which I am sure our students will enjoy. Congratulation to Sidney, Anya and Fatma. They were the winners of our raffle and each chose $20 worth of items from the fair.
Thank you for your support.
