Last week, the colours, tastes and sounds of India came to Hacton School. The Year 4 geography project on India came to an exciting end with a day of Indian culture and customs. Children dressed up in Indian clothes or wore bright colours, and teachers and assistants showed off their saris. In the morning, the children led a Chembakolli Tea Party for the Year 1 classes, where they taught the younger children a tea dance, tasted tea from Chembakolli and played Indian games together. Year 4 also made vegetable samosas, Indian bracelets, Rama and Sita shadow puppets and beautifully decorated kites. The day came to a magical end with a workshop on Bollywood dance, where the children learnt a routine and even choreographed their own sections of the dance. All the children agreed that India day was great!
A massive thank you to parents for sending their children to school in colourful clothes and an even bigger thank you to the parents who came in to help.
