Important reminder - Our Cultural Celebrations are this week!

Cultural Week is coming up and there are some fun things planned for everyone to enjoy.

This week is an opportunity for us all to celebrate the different cultures we have at Oaklands School.  All children are encouraged to bring a game, song, story or activity from their home country that they can share during the week.

The blog below is a reprint of a previous blog to remind you of what is happening this week.

On Tuesday 23 February, we are having a shared lunch in the classrooms.  We would like each child to bring a small plate of food from their home country to share with their classmates.  We have over 20 different cultures at Oaklands and it would be great to see a variety of food in the classrooms.

On Thursday 25 February, we encourage all children to wear the national costume of their country or an item of clothing from their country.  In the morning, parents of our English language learners are taking activities from their home countries with the different classes. The parents have worked very hard to make this a fun morning and we know the children will enjoy what the parents are offering.

In the afternoon, starting at 1.40 pm, we are having a Multicultural Assembly, to which you are invited.  A variety of items from different countries will be presented by parents, children and friends of our school.

We hope families will take the opportunity to wear their national costume to our assembly and help make this occasion a very special celebration.
