On Wednesday 28 May 2019, the whole school community had a wonderful time celebrating Pancasila Day.
Dressed in a bright array of batik clothing, the day began with a performance around the tree with the children singing traditional Indonesian songs. The children then carouseled around exciting activities to learn more about Indonesian culture and traditions. Highlights included using delcious fruits to make fruit satai; jewellery making with traditional beads; toymaking from hemp and wire; and playing traditional games. And we also got to taste yummy Indonesian sweet treats that looked and tasted great. Everyone had a fantastic time and we all feel very lucky to be living within this vibrant culture.
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.
