Year 2 goes to Madagascar

The Year 2’s are learning about Madagascar in Geography. The Avenue of Baobabs, ring-tailed lemurs, tomato frogs, vanilla pods, and sapphires are just a few of the things they have discovered so far.

They completed a research project where they each exhibited one interesting fact about Madagascar with a picture included. We are blown away with their contributions.

Nivad Manouchehri told the class about the Elephant Bird which is much larger than an Ostrich but unfortunately extinct.

Joshua Smith brought a poster about the Silky Safika Lemur which is as tall as a two-year-old!

Aunty Nini came for a visit on Friday, 22nd February to tell us all about Madagascar. ‘Salomo’ is how you say ‘hello’ in Madagasy. She taught the students a Madagasy dance where they waved a “lamba” (a special scarf) to the music. We even learned how to count in Madagasy.

The Year 2’s have really relished in their adventures in learning about the fourth largest island in the world!
