We had visitors come to the school to tell us about and demonstrate "The Lion Dance" It was really interesting and skillful. Some children including Hayley were given the opportunity to play the cymbals. Mrs Dijkstra loved the drums. They reminded her of the Olympics opening ceremony in Beijing where there were one thousand of those drums. They were AMAZING!
Mrs Dijkstra was very proud of these children who wore their Traditional costume to school to celebrate their culture. Everyone in the class made an origami pig to take home.
We had a special day!
We went on to make our own dragons. Check out the display in our classrrom!

I loved the demonstration and learnt all sorts of new information. Shows Room 24 that you are never too old to learn new things.
