Crawford International Ruimsig Grade1 students embarked on an amazing journey “around the world” without leaving school, traveling between classrooms! They “visited” France, Italy, India, Portugal, and our very own beautiful country, South Africa, getting their passports stamped along the way.

These young explorers learned songs, dances, and fascinating facts about different cultures. Did you know that just like “The Big 5,” there’s also “The Little 5” in South African wildlife? Can you name them?

This exciting unit, “Where We Are in Place and Time,” helps our students appreciate diverse environments and understand how and why we build and live in the homes we do. What’s your favourite thing about where you live? Share in the comments!
