International Day 2023

Mar 21,2023

Countries of the world celebrate at Windrose Academy!

Windrose Academy students celebrated a very colourful, successful and enjoyable International Day.  All the Key Stages chose countries to represent.  The countries chosen were Greece, France, Egypt, India, Malaysia, Germany, Spain, Japan, UAE, USA, China, Kenya, Russia, Italy, Philippines, South Korea, and Lebanon. Turkey was also represented by FS1 students and we were honoured to have with us a delegation from the Turkish Embassy.

It was indeed a day to remember.  Not only did the students and teachers wear national costumes, but they also researched and prepared information about each country, as well as sang songs and danced. Students enjoyed tasting the food of their country and in a truly international spirit of peace and love our countries exchanged this knowledge of food and culture with each other.  An amazing fun and educational day was had by everyone in school. At the end of this memorable day, everyone returned to their native habitat, informed and well-nourished!
