Floral Park-Bellerose School invited its students to “visit” all seven continents for the Around the World event, hosted by the PTA.
Pre-K through second grade students visited each continent for crafts and games, and they received stickers for their passport books. Students in grades 3-4 searched for the principal in a “Where in the World is Mr. DeKams?” activity, receiving continent-specific clues on his location. Students in grades 5-6 joined an “Amazing FPBS Race,” participating in various relay races and challenges.
Some of the activities included learning how to properly use chopsticks in Asia, practicing Zumba in South America, throwing a boomerang in Australia, making snow in Antarctica, playing instruments in Africa, identifying landmarks in Europe and playing hockey in North America.
