International Day @ Learning Home

International Day @ Learning Home

On September 28th, Learning Home held its annual International Day celebration. 

International Day is a way for parents, students, staff and teachers to interact and see just how many countries come together to make up this fantastic school. It is also a great way to introduce out students to other cultures from around the world and what they represent. 

We have students from 13 different countries: 

Thailand

U.S.A.

France

Indonesia

Singapore

Syria 

China

England

Austria

Japan

India

Canada

Australia

Parents are asked to bring their child to school in traditional dress from their home country. They are also asked to bring a traditional dish. And boy did we have a very nice, eclectic mix of food for the day!

The first activity was Circle Time -- and all of the parents were welcome!

Singing Wind the Bobbin Up!

The Itsy Bitsy Spider.

The kids had a quick snack time with their parents and then we moved onto the modelling. Every student presented themselves in their traditional outfit and "walked the catwalk" for pictures. We drilled every class beforehand so most of the kids were well-prepared :)

Very nicely done, Nova!

Devina looks beautiful!

I think Kieran is trying to show us where Japan is :)

After the modelling everyone moved onto colouring their national flag. Some flags were easy (Japan, Indonesia), but some were a bit of a challenge (USA, England).

The kids are getting started!

Mr. Bomb finished his flag and he's ecstatic!

WunJin and Samir working hard on their flag.

When they finished their flag, they moved right along to a map of their country. They got to see how their country is shaped as well as that of other countries.

After the colouring came time to eat! We feasted on dishes from every country. There was so much food and dessert to go around; everyone finished the morning with a more-than-full tummy. The parents and staff were all very impressed at the preparation and attention taken with each dish. Everything truly was delicious.

And in the end, we were very satisfied and ready for a nice nap, like our little guy Ethan here:
