Celebrating NOWRUZ

On Friday we were lucky enough to have one of our class members share her special tradition with us.  We have been writing about family traditions in our room and this young lady taught us all about the Persian new year - Nowruz, meaning NEW DAY.  Below is a photo of the haft-seen table which was made for us to experience. The table, which is always on display at Nowruz, has seven items laid out on it and they all start with the letter S and have a significant meaning.

We learnt so much and appreciated the effort that was put into it.
