With the Rugby World Cup just around the corner and many overseas supporters visiting, we will be looking at different cultures, traditions and practices for our Theme studies.

In Room 1 I would like you to start thinking about your own cultural identity, and your own family history. During the first week the students in Room 1 will be given a blank family tree template to take home and complete

. On the first leaf they will write their name and ethnicity. Then they will write their paternal parents names and ethnicities, then their paternal parents names ethnicities etc. An example is provided below.

The reason for the heads up so early on is that when i was trying to complete my own one it did become a little difficult, so please find time to discuss/research this as a family.

Enjoy the rest of your break.

Mr Baylis
