Pakastani Presentation

Monday, December 21st, 2009
We had a fantastic presentation about Pakistan today. One of the boys in the class persuaded his mum (and a willing brother and sister) to come to talk to us about Pakistan. The talk was fascinating. We learned about the Pakistani flag, country, coins, fruits, sports, clothes, wedding clothes, places of worship and homes.
Each of us was given a tiny little Pakistani flag on a cocktail sausage stick. We really like these - they will help us to remember the flag. We were shown a cricket bat. We play hurling and Gaelic football here in Ireland, but in Pakistan, cricket is the popular sport. We would like to try it sometime. We got to see lots of teriffic photos so we could understand the talk better.
To finish up we got to try some rice, cooked specially so we could try it. We were told it was really really mild rice, but some of us found it a lot spicier than Irish cooking. It was delicious, and lots even had a second helping. Thanks so much for such a wonderful presentation.
