Harmony Day, an interesting, interactive language convention, is a great opportunity for students throughout our entire school to engage in a different, yet fun learning experience. Students of all ages travelled to Italy, Brunei, South Africa, Japan and Persia all in one afternoon, through the help of the school's parent volunteers. The parents presented panels dedicated to their culture's language, food, flags and historical items, as well as providing general information and photos! The 2015 Year 1's were responsible for sending out participation letters to parents, organising a date and time for Harmony Day, preparation and production of paper flags and posters for each panel, the design and production of book marks, the set up of the different panels, and writing and sending out letters to the parents who participated so as to show our appreciation.
Harmony Day was a huge success! It appeared that the students found it not only, informative and educational, but also fun and different to the usual teaching methodologies of the school. This fun-filled approach to teaching benefited the students largely as it was definitely a learning experience to remember! The organisation of Harmony Day was also hugely beneficial to myself and the other Year 1's. I thoroughly enjoyed managing this event with my fellow class members as we each definitely developed our teamwork and organisation skills. It was a fun experience and overall a great way for everyone to learn new things, including myself!
