Bonjour
This week, we were really lucky to have some special visitors from Canada. It was even more special because it was one of our class buddies grandparents.
This term we have been learning about what is the same/different about ourselves, family and friends. We have also been talking about how our cultures are different but we are the same because we all live in New Zealand.
Marsha and John (Nico's grandparents) came to talk to us about Canada and how it is different to New Zealand. When we heard the word 'Canada' we didn't know what it meant. Marsha showed us how far Canada is from N.Z on the World map. It is pretty far away!
Did you know that Canada is known for their maple syrup? Most of us in the class have never tasted maple syrup.
Thank you Marsha and John for visiting. We hope that you won't be bumping into any bears this year. Take care.

DeleteThank you so much Incredible 2s for welcoming my mom and dad into your awesome classroom to share in your learning! They were so impressed with how you all show your P.R.I.D.E. and really enjoyed sharing our culture with you. (Nico's mom)
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting. We were excited to learn about your culture and seeing the different kinds of clothes you wear.
DeleteWow so good to see you use such an amazing and rich resource to learn about Canada. Hopefully one day we can all travel to Canada to check out where Marsha and John come from! (and Miss Davey too). Nice speech Nico. How special.
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on our blog. We hope that we will be able to visit Canada someday. It was very special for Nico to speak on behalf of our class.
DeleteWe had a wonderful time at Rowandale School. The students should be proud of how well behaved and inquisitive they are. It was our pleasure to be allowed to spend time with all of the friendly students and staff. We would love to visit again in the future! Au revoir ���� (Nico's Grandparents in ����)
ReplyDeleteBonjour. Ca va? Your more than welcome to visit us anytime. We miss seeing you in the mornings and after school. We always ask Nico how you are. Thank you for commenting. P.S. our teacher told us about the emojis :-)
Delete"Hi Incredible 2s... We just finished watching your video and we think that it is very cool to have Nicos' grandparents over to talk about Canada. We also think you guys sang Tainui really well! Keep up the good work"
