These Cayman Isles

This week, the children of Casa will be learning more about our island home. Previously as part of our Earth studies we have been talking about the meanings of the words “island” and “lake”- a body of land surrounded by water and a body of water surrounded by land. This week we’ll talk about the geography of our islands (how many islands there are and where we are located), some of our national symbols, as well as some of the animals and plants that are special to this island such as the mangroves, Cayman parrots and wild bananna orchids. For cooking, Casa1 will make pumpkin bread and Casa2 will make bananna bread, two delicious recipes with local ingredients.
