This week, the Cheeky Monkeys embarked on an exciting journey exploring different cultures from around the world. The children enjoyed learning simple dances inspired by various countries, which helped develop their coordination, rhythm, and body awareness while introducing them to how people celebrate through music and movement. They also talked about foods from different cultures, sharing their own favourites and discovering new dishes from around the world, which encouraged curiosity and rich conversations. Another highlight was exploring a large world map together, where the children were introduced to the continents and discussed how far apart different places are. They loved pointing to countries and imagining how people might travel there. These activities supported early geographical awareness, communication skills, and a growing appreciation for the diversity of cultures around the world.
