Harmony Day in Room 1

Room 1 had great fun participating in our Harmony Day electives. Some of us dressed in National colours and outfits. We ate yummy Egyptian food and enjoyed traditional Greek and Indian dancing. We also enjoyed Chinese paper crafts and martial arts. Thank you to all the volunteers and parents who shared their culture and skills with us.
