Geography week at Sophie House

We have been exploring different Countries from around the world during geography week.

Monday - first stop was Africa. We listened and danced to African music and smelt and tasted watermelon and oranges. We had our faces painted in a tribal style and ate Jollof rice cooked by Victoria, which was lovely.

Tuesday - we had Around the world tac pacday. We used chopsticks for China, red fans for Spain, little clogs for the Netherlands, maple leaves for Canada, grass skirts for New Zealand and bowler hats for Slovakia. We listened to music from around the world, enjoyed massages with hot stones and warm bamboo. For lunch we had vegetable curry.

Wednesday - we went to Mexico. We made Mayan face masks and took part in a tribal dance. Lunch was Mexican pasta and Nicky made a variety of Mexican dishes for the staff to try.

Thursday - we had Around the world playdough day. We made landmarks and iconic symbolic items from different countries. We made pizza with our choice of toppings and enjoyed a delicious pasta carbonara.

Friday - we celebrated Chinese New Year, Year of the Dragon. We decorated dragons as well as taking part in Chinese tacpac. Lunch was a delicious stir fry and noodles along with a Chinese feast, which was prepared by Nicky, which included lucky fortune cookies.
