This week’s assembly was dedicated to our International Day, which we celebrate to mark the UN Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
Year 4 opened the assembly by singing an African song in round, and it sounded excellent. Each class in turn explained the work they had been doing to explore a cultural art theme:
Nursery and Reception told us about the Philippines, their Spring Party headbands and the food they cooked with Taro’s Dad.
In Year 1/2 they had been looking at Malian mud cloth patterns and Year 3 explained some of the things they had learned about aboriginal culture and art. In Year 4 they told us briefly about the work they had been doing on the Ecuadorian painter Oswaldo Guayasamin. Maori art was the focus of Year 5 /6‘s work and Year 7 shared with us all the textile dyeing techniques they had explore in Design and Technology.
To end the assembly in a clam and meditative mood, Year 4 (and a few others) taught everyone to sing the Omg Namo Mantra they had learned. It was quite long, but very beautiful and everybody was relaxed by the end!
All the artwork would be on display later in the ISCAT International Art Gallery!
