Over the past few weeks, we have been exploring what makes us the same and what makes us different from one another. The children have loved discovering the unique qualities that make each of them special, as well as the many things they share with their classmates.
As we move into the final part of our learning journey, we will be widening our lens and looking at how we are similar or different to people around the world. To spark excitement for this new case study, we began with a vibrant and energetic Indian dance workshop!
The children were introduced to a traditional Punjabi folk dance and were completely captivated by the rhythm, the movement, and the joyful atmosphere. One of the highlights was dancing along to the beat of the dhol drum, feeling the rhythm build as they learned new steps and patterns.
This workshop has already opened up wonderful discussions about culture, music, traditions, and the ways people express themselves around the world. We can’t wait to continue exploring and discovering more together in the weeks ahead.
The children showed real courage when performing their final dance to the year two children at the end of the day!
