We went all around the world in just 2 days this week! From Brazil to The Netherlands, we expereienced the many gifts and treasures that make our world and the Riverheights community so great. The amount of work and effort that went into each pavillion was truly astonishing. Check out the pictures below to see a sneak peak of the past few days: Opening Ceramonies: Mrs. Hunter hosted an array of dancers who expressed their traditional dance and music. We were so lucky to have both RH talent, as well as professional Irish dancers perform for us. After a short break, we begin our tour around the school. First Stop, Canada! Here we learned about everything that makes us Canadian. From maple syrup, to hockey and re-building the CN Tower with marshmellows and tooth picks, we enjoyed our trip! Next we headed over to South Africa: What a treat it was to learn about the landscape, traditions and animals who live in South Africa. One student held a live demonstration on diamond mining! Our next destination: Greece! We toured the streets of Greece, viewing beautiful artifacts that are all original to the country. We enjoyed an informative presentation on Greek Mythology and other facts about Greece. Before taking flight, once again, the kiddos snacked on some Galaktoboureko. Off to Brazil we go! In Brazil, our grade one kiddos took some serious note on how to rock Brazil from our Big Buddies class! We watched the Gr. 3s awesome slide show and were taught the Samba. Home made brigadeiro was the fuel to our dance party!! Next stop: The Netherlands. The grade 2s put on a fantastic pavillion with lots to look at and do! The kiddos tried their artistic hand at the Starry Night, walked through a tulip garden and played the hilarious game of "Spijkerpoepen!" Check out the slideshow below to see the rest of Cultural Day! We visited many more pavillions such as: The Phillipes, Nepal and India. The show will also include photos of our grade one's doing a wonderful job of hosting Brazil to over 10 groups!
