East Whitby school March 25th

A delight to being with them for the third time.

Talk on Indian culture, children wearing Indian clothes and jewellery and demonstration of coconut burfi(sweet) which children will be presenting their Mums on Mothers day.


Testimonial

It was lovely to see you again - you have made so many friends at East Whitby! The reception staff, teaching asssistants, teachers and obviously the children all commented on how nice it was to see you again and asked when you were coming back! (Between November 2012- Spring 2013 when we do 'Around the World' topic next time)
What a good day we all had with you and the children have made many references to things that you taught them. They now have an understanding of life in India. Thank You!
The coconut barfi cut up well for the Mothering Sunday present and looked very pretty with all the different shades in the gift box. Thank you very much for fitting in so well with our demands - making an Indian dish with 50 children so that all have something that they can take home as a gift one week later, and learn about India at the same time! You did it!


Best wishes and Happy Easter
Margaret
