Hello Everyone! It has been a great couple of weeks full of cultural presentations by some of our parents and staff. We have had presentations on Bonfire Night by Mr. Curtis (Alfie’s dad), St. Nicholas by Mrs. Lankes, Chilean Christmas by Senora Jenny, Ramadan celebrations of Sudan by Mrs. Elsayed, and Mexican Christmas by Mrs. Panza. We also had children share their cultural/traditional dress with us. Richard Ma and Aryaman Bothra wore traditional outfits to class. I have attached pictures for you to enjoy.
