Year 1, 2 and 3 students participated in a Cinco de Mayo Fiesta as part of their Spanish Language Program.
Cinco de Mayo is an annual celebration held on May 5, which commemorates the anniversary of Mexico’s victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Renowned Mexican artist, Victor Valdes, took our students through a musical journey to Latin America with traditional costumes and a range of instruments including the Mexican harp. Students learned some dances from Mexico and sang along to some famous tunes from Latin America.
In the classroom, students continued to be immersed in Mexican culture by learning the history of this day, making Mexican crafts, learning traditional songs and dances.
