What an amazing country we have the privilege to live in and how right that we take the time to celebrate this with the children.
Our Indonesia Day was a wonderful celebration of culture and it was lovely to launch the day with traditional songs around the courtyard tree. The school came alive with the colorful prints of all the batik clothing that the children and staff wore for this special day. Through the day the children took part in a carousel of fantastic traditional Indonesian activities. They played traditional games, made Topeng Masks and Cicak Headbands, made batik pictures and played the Angklung in the music room. They were challenged to use leaves to weave Ketupat – and did an amazing job – and also made beautiful bead necklaces. We had a great day, learned so much about Indonesia and love our host country even more now! Well done to the children, staff and parents for all your hard work in making this day a great success.
Elevating your child’s learning experience through play invitations is one of the answers to the question: "How do I support my child's learning at home?" A play invitation should be inviting and attention grabbing, however, it does not have to be FIERCE (that is, Fabulous, Involving adults, Expensive, Result-driven, Creative and Elaborate). The key is to work with what you have.
