O’Keeffe class had a great time on Italian Day! The children learnt how Italy is a peninsula and that even their Capital City has a city in it! They tried to recreate some historic buildings with Lego and unleashed their inner Da Vinci and Michelangelo by making their own artwork; some on their backs just like Michelangelo did in the Sistine Chapel! The children also made Venetian masks and had a parade, singing Italian songs. Ciao!

Ciao! 👋 We’re having a wonderful Italian day here at DJPA! Children have regular Italian lessons so we thought we’d immerse ourselves in the spirit of Italy today- it’s a shame the sun didn’t join us! ☀️ ☔️ Here’s Mrs Crane going all out with her Italian flag and pizza hat! 🍕

A huge thank you to the family members who came in yesterday to share with Attenborough Class to support our project 'Long Ago'. We had a lovely afternoon finding out about when our Grandparents were children and how things have changed. Thank you for playing a special part in our learning.
