Year 3 have had a fantastic week celebrating Cultural Week. Our focus was Pakistan, Afghanistan and the United Arab Emirates. The children have completed a range of different activities across their subjects. In art, the children were looking at the intricate designs of the Pakistani trucks. After they were creating Pakistani truck designs using traditional Pakistani art patterns. In geography, the children took a trip to Pakistan and learnt about some of the famous landmarks, they then wrote postcards home to family members telling them about all the wonderful things they had seen. We read a book called the “The Arabic Quilt” the book is about being proud of your culture and celebrating differences, also, the children all learnt to write in Arabic.  Lastly, the children had the great opportunity to experience an Arabic drums workshop in which they listened to music, experienced the culture and learned how to play the drums!
