In year five, we immersed ourselves today in all things Austrian. We started off with the apple strudel experience. We made our own, working together, to create a confectionery masterpiece. They really did go down a treat! Then we looked at the geography of the country and region, before learning some German words - particularly colours. The children were interested to find out why German and English have so many similarities.
In the afternoon, we learnt how to dance a Viennese Waltz. We had learnt about Austrian composers and classical music earlier in the week, so this linked really well.
We sensed that we had only scratched the surface of our Alpine neighbours but we all thoroughly enjoyed the day!
