Jan 23 - Tim and Sasha’s mum ‘Anna’ visited the class.
The children learned that the blue on the Ukranian flag represented ‘sky’ and the yellow ‘flour’. We located ‘Sarny’ the town where the family is from, on a map. We admired the traditional shirts that the family wore especially, to show us. We looked at photos of Sarny and saw forests full of Roe deer and an idyllic railway line running through the trees. We hope Anna’s beautiful town remains as she remembers it when it is safe for her tp return to Ukraine. The class attempted to make the traditional Ukrainian soup ‘Borscht’. Ingredients included cabbage, carrots and potatoes so it was very red. We enjoyed tasting it.
