The butterfly group celebrated different traditions and celebrations around the world. In november they spent a week learning about Thanksgiving a celebration in America. Rachel's neices who live in America sent the boys and girls pictures about Thanksgiving and a letter to explain what they do on Thanksgiving.
The children at Stepping Stones looked through the pictures and drew turkey hands and wrote Happy Thanksgiving to send back to America.
The pre-school group, have had an amazing time writing back and forth to another school in South Korea. We have received letters from the children, which were shared with our Butterfly group. The children were then able to write back and forth throughout the year. During this time we were able to explore with the children what a school across the world looks like. We could see both similarities and differences and the chilldren really enjoyed receiving their letters from the children.
We even sent a package to them full of goodies to have a full 'English party.'
