Pt England Juniors - Amazing Houses


The Pt England Junior School have been learning about Amazing Houses. Firstly, they shared about the Samoan House - the fale. The Room 8 reporter in Samoa showed us how to build one. They also told us that a fale is made of "mostly fresh air!" Then we heard about Canada, through emails from Mrs Fale's parents to Room 9. Next we heard from the Room 9 reporter in England, who interviewed Lepa the guard, and the Queen of England. Hajira made an amazing Queen, and told us all about her Palace. Finally, Room 6 took us to Ethiopia and told us about mudhouses. They corresponded with an 8yr old girl called Lydia in Ethiopia, who told them all about the sorts of houses there. We also watched a live demonstration of how to make a mud house.
The Junior School finished by singing "Imagine" to us, with great smiles and actions! Great job guys!

Hi Pt England

Cool presentation. It was interesting seeing what you learnt about houses around the world.

I liked seeing the Queen of England in her palace and it was funny seeing her wave.

The Samoan fale was cool and seeing your pictures of it was too.
