Preparing for International Day

On Monday 20th, we will be celebrating International Day. Please can your child come dressed in their traditional country dress, or clothes in the colour of their flag.

The day will start as normal. Please drop your child off at their class for registration, Your child can meet you at the tent on the back field. 

The parade starts at 7:50am. 

The cultural show will start at approximately 8:55am. Parents are invited to watch the cultural show from the balcony upstairs. Please do not go into the hall. There is not enough space in the hall for parents. Thank you for your understanding. 

Events In The World 

You can keep up to date with current events around the world by watching Newsround, an age appropriate news show.  Being aware of current events will help your child to make connections with a range of themes when reading in class, and it is an ideal opportunity for you to model discussing your opinions and using experiences to draw connections between events and people.
