We have accumulated A LOT of lost items over the term. Here are a just few photos of what has been placed in the lost property box. I will be placing the box outside admin this week. If you see something that belongs to your family please claim it ASAP. By the end of the school year the items will need to be disposed of. I will continue to update this post over the next week as this post only shows a few of the items in the Lost Property box.

The above school jacket is in a small size.

Small sized school jacket with these little toys in the pocket (how cute and sweet). Probably belongs to a girl. But no name on the label!!!

In this series of lessons we are all excited to learn about Mongolia’s amazing Throat singing traditions and skills.

In Mongolia, classical throat singing and playing of the “whoor” ( Mongolia’s version of a guitar) is taught at various universities and the children were amazed at the beauty and variety of sounds and versions of singing that can be made with the throat, including throat whistling and chest whistling!

Many fascinating you tube clips were viewed and discussed with the focus on Mongolia’s traditions and how we need to put ourselves in their “shoes” to truly understand significant differences in cultures and to be respectful of them.

We also studied the traditional customs of Mongolia and the students came to the realisation they have many customs that are similar to our own.

For example- inviting guests to eat and drink when they visit homes and respecting their elders.
