Each class took part in an activity, celebrating some of the many cultures from around the world. We really enjoyed reading your Home Learning based on your culture and heritage. There were lots of really informative presentations, posters and booklets and beautiful art pieces. It is amazing to see the effort you have gone to, and how proud you are of your cultural background, as you should be!
