International Day

Lower School’s International Day was a feast of the senses and a day to remember, along with plenty of facts about other countries and their cultures and customs. Year 1 enjoyed dressing up in various international costumes and focused on learning all about Italy, using the children’s kitchen to bake pizzas as well as designing and making gondolas and Venetian masks. It was lovely to hear the children sharing all the different languages they know!

Year 2 had great fun celebrating and learning about Mexico for International Day. They started the day with a salsa lesson from Miss Williams. They tried so hard and demonstrated their super salsa hips and rhythm! Mexican art followed this, creating a sideways face combined with a forwards facing face in vibrant pastels.

The children took part in a little Spanish lesson, learning the alphabet, numbers and colours. They were also introduced to the country of Mexico with information about the country, finishing off the day by making guacamole. The best part of the day for some children was trying the delicious guacamole, accompanied by tortilla crisps, sour cream, cucumber and carrot sticks!!
