China

Did you know that the People’s Republic of China was founded on October 1st 1949? Taylor brought a sampling of honey garlic pork to try. Yum! She also brought a little jacket that a little Chinese boy may have worn. 

South Africa

Today we learned about South Africa, the most southern country on the continent of Africa. Carson shared with us a doll made out of corn stalks. It was made by a child who was sponsored by a family in Canada. It was sent to Canada over the Atlantic Ocean from Africa. 

Russia

Jonathan took us to the world’s largest country, Russia, his family’s country of origin. Did you know that many buildings in Moscow have roofs that look like candy? We enjoyed tasting Russian-style pancakes called blini. They can be topped with something sweet or savoury. Yum!

Japan

Kyler taught us that Japan is a very small country but has a population of over 120 million people! He brought Japanese coins for us to see called Yen that his dad collected on his trip to Japan. We also got to enjoy a piece of sushi. For many this was their first time trying sushi. Thank you Kyler!

Pakistan

Hassaan took us to his birth country and taught us about places to visit in Pakistan. He shared with us 2 dishes that his family enjoys; Seviyaan, a vermicelli milk pudding and pakori, a savoury fried dough snack filled with potato. They were both delicious!

Spain

We travelled to Spain and sampled a Spanish rice dish that Brooklyn made. Many of us went back for seconds, it was delicious! We also learned about beautiful places to visit and other interesting facts.

Norway

Our first country presentation took us to Norway! We learned about places to visit, the climate and traditional dress. We also got to taste Norwegian Krumkake. It was delicious! Did you know that by 2026 Norway’s new cars will all be electric? Well done Olive!
