How is your week going? Our week was wonderful! We are going to share some of our highlights with you.
First of all, we continued our exploration of India! We learned about a tradition in India called henna or mehndi.
- "Henna is a paste from a plant that dyes your skin." -T
- "People in India wear mehndi for special occasions like weddings." - J
- "Henna stays on your skin for days or weeks." -G
- "The bride wears henna and sometimes the groom does too." -D
- "You have to wait for the ink to dry before you wash it off and see your stained skin." -H
After we learned about this tradition, we decorated our own (paper) hands with mehndi art! Here are some pictures of our work.
Other facts we learned about India are:
- "Their main language is Hindi." -G/J
- "They use rickshaws for transportation." -A
- "Some of the trains in India do not have glass windows because it is so hot." -M
- "In some villages, they use newspaper to wrap groceries." -T
- "In a video we watched, kids were on a motorcycle without a helmet!" -K
- "Some wagons have protection at the top in case there are monsoons." -S
Second, in math, we have been working on our doubles! Please watch these songs to help practice!
Lastly, all of the grade 3/4s finished our feather art project! First, we painted different colours of the rainbow. Then, we traced and cut the feather pattern. After, we added some symmetrical designs to decorate the feather. We also added a wish we have for the world. We are so proud of our finial product. We cannot wait for you to see it at PT conferences.
Have a great long weekend!
Love Room 13
