Harmony Day 2014

On Thursday 20th March we celebrated Harmony Day at Wattle Grove Primary School. Harmony Day is a day when we celebrate that Australia is made up of different cultures. To celebrate we dressed up in different national costumes and had a United Nations Parade.

Everyone in our class dressed up and they each looked fantastic! People dressed up in clothes from Australia, Saudi Arabia, England, Myanmar, India, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, Ireland, Turkey and more! We got to walk in front of the whole school and show off our costumes.

We spoke about people's culture and national identity in our class. We found out that our class has families from 15 different countries and that 6 people speak a different language at home. What a multicultural class we have!

We also wrote acrostic poems about Harmony Day in our groups. At the moment we are still typing them up, but we will post some of them on the blog soon.

Our class had 100% of people dressed up so we would like to thank our Mums and Dads for helping us to dress up in our national clothes, because of this we got extra play.

It was also Jeffrey's birthday on the 20th March!
