Fiesta de las Cruces

In year 4 we have been learning about The Festival of The Crosses ( Fiesta de las Cruces). It is a festival celebrated in many Spanish and Hispanic countries including our host country – Peru! 

We have learned about the significance of the cross and it’s power to help us heal and remember. We are designing our own crosses for the festival using flowers, fish and other symbols of wealth to decorate our crosses. They are a work in progress but I think they are coming along really well! 

 

World book day

Year four had a great time doing different book based activities around year 3 and 4 classrooms and their costumes looked great!

   
   

World Book Day

In Year Four this morning, we celebrated World Book Day by dressing up as our favourite book characters. There were some fantastic costumes, even the teachers dressed up. We took part in a carousel of activities across Years Three and Four and we also teamed up with Year One and shared books with them.
