When I was in Year 2 our school Inquiry was "Around the World in 80 Days".  My teacher, Miss Wood, made a class video of our visit to Buckingham Palace.  Guess who was chosen to act the role of Queen Elizabeth ll ?

Immersion Assemblies

What are Immersion assemblies? Immersion assemblies are when teachers dress up related to our new topic. It doesn’t happen in every school but it does happen here at Pt England School.

One of my favourite Immersion assemblies was Around the world in 80 days. It was my favourite because I learnt a lot about some other countries and I acted in a show about England’s queen.

I think Pt England school has the best Immersion assemblies because teachers act funny and they share some good facts.

Fasting

What is fasting ? Fasting is when all the Muslim people do not eat or drink during the day. They break the fast when it is a little dark,then they pray five times first three then two. (Muslims prayers are different than other people.) How do they know when Ramadan is over you ask ? They know when it's over when they see the new moon , that's when the festival begins. Guess what? On the first day of Eid children get lot's of money, pretty cool. The lady's also put some henna on their hands. They make beautiful patterns. What is henna? Henna is made out of henna leaves. Fasting is very hard but once you get used to it , it's very easy.

These are henna leaves.
