Whole School News INTERNATIONAL PICNIC DAY By Mrs Jayne Vickers
The final part of the day was a moment for students across the school to enjoy special treats and snacks from their home country either through a show and tell in the Junior School to conversations in the Senior School. Thank you to everyone involved in celebrating our internationalism and sharing your heritage and culture with others.
We were delighted to celebrate the school’s annual International Day on Friday 25th February. Despite ongoing restrictions, we managed to celebrate in style. The entire school community embraced the opportunity to show the vibrancy of their culture through their clothing as students and staff came into school wearing their national dress or colours that represented their country of origin. It was wonderful to see all the different costumes from the many nationalities in our school: from kilts, kanga and kandura to hanbok, hakama and hats galore!
During period 1, students and teachers came together in venues across the school to share songs, stories, performances, and presentations on the theme of “Our Heritage”. There are too many to name them all here, but some of the highlights included a whistle stop tour of Tanzania, an insight into Indian festivals, a beautiful Hindi love song, a traditional Korean folk song, and a taste of Morris dancing. 06
