Harmony Day and Stage 3 Country Presentations

For Harmony Day we were treated with two different lessons by two groups of stage 3 students. The first lot of students arrived at our class with pearls, shells and palm trees. We learnt a lot about Hawaii, had the chance to go scavenger hunting and ended with some dancing while wearing leis.

Our next journey was to 1T's classroom where the next group was set up with a huge helmet, money and a strange looking instrument. It was all about Greece. We got to actually touch and hold notes and coins from Greece. It is called currency. We found out the helmet was a Spartan helmet. The Spartan's were one of the most feared military forces in world history. They sounded really scary. The helmet had horse hair as decoration at the top, is made of metal and really heavy! We watched a Greek story about the Golden Fleece and the Greek God, Zeus. And then finally outside for a Greek game.
