Cinco de Mayo commemorates the victory at the Battle of Puebla in which the Mexican army won an unlikely victory against the French. Students were able to explore and immerse themselves in Mexican culture by participating in seven different workshops including making Mexican crafts, learning traditional songs, dances as well as tasting nachos and churros. A special thank you to all the Year 1 and 2 teachers and all the parent helpers as without them this day would not have been possible. It was a very enjoyable day for the children, parents and teachers. The children could not wait to get home to show their parents their Mexican passports and show them all the activities they had participated in during the day.
