Harmony Day
Harmony Day
On Wednesday 17 March, Ngunnawal Primary School celebrated Harmony Day by wearing their cultural dress or orange, and holding an assembly.
At the start of the assembly, Chris Simpson did the Acknowledgment of Country, with his two children, Benjamin and Amelia. Bec presented harmony awards to students who acknowledge people's differences, not just on Harmony Day but every day. The Year 6 band played a song from China and Australia.
We were then amazed by two spectacular performances. First Capoeira Senzala, gave a demonstration of Brazilian martial arts Capoeira. It had acrobatics and lots of cool moves. Then we watched the Folk Dance Canberra perform. They did a display of five different dances from Israel, France, Japan, England, and Armenia.
On Friday 19 March, Ngunnawal Primary School had some special guests perform. In the courtyard, the Chinese Lion Dance was performed for us. The lion costume was very bright and colourful. Some students thought the dances were interesting and enjoyed it when the lion came up close but others were a little bit scared of it. Students enjoyed being able to keep rhythm with the beat of the drums.
