Our Year 5 and 6 School Councils Reps were lucky enough to attend a special Education Week ‘Living History’ activity afternoon at another local school yesterday.
Our visit was both informative and entertaining; a fun afternoon of learning – that truly brought our TCI history and culture to life!
Through this blog post we hope that teachers, classes and families will share in our experiences. The children also hope to report back to all of our students about their visit in an assembly time, too.
Our thanks to the staff and students of the International School of the Turks and Caicos who gave us such a warm welcome.
So read on to see all the activities we got to do…
Four hands on activity centres were set up for the students and visitors to rotate through, focusing on Native Indians, Culture, Salt Rakers and Pirates.
“Making the maskanoo costume was my favourite activity because I enjoyed the challenge of attaching the vibrant coloured strips of material to the costume.”
“The Salt Raking activities made us really think about how hard work this must have been for Salt Rakers to do all day in the hot sun in the past.”
“We thoroughly enjoyed helping to paint the map on the wall; it was really fun!”
“Thank you to all the teachers and volunteers for helping us to experience life in the past through such a fun afternoon.”
Thank you for coming. The children really enjoyed having visitors.
I very much agree in terms of working collaboratively and hope we can continue to do more together in the future.
Best wishes,
Katie Hinks
