culture day

​Culture Day 2023 was a great success thanks to all the work that the children, parents and Ms Thanner put in. The infant classes taught the school how to say “hello” in different languages. 1st and 2nd class performed an Irish dance. 3rd and 4th showed off their multicultural city scape and we listened to the 5th and 6th class presenting their projects. After that, we had a global dance party, read bilingual books and did a quiz. 

It was a day of learning, exchanging and strengthening our community. A massive thank you to the children, families and staff for making it a wonderful day.
