On Friday 22nd of March we enjoyed our first international afternoon with a theme of Italy. At lunchtime, our wonderful catering team- led by Tia- created a fabulous Italian themed meal including lasagne and meatballs- they were also dressed in the Italian colours of red, white and  green.

Following lunchtime- in the afternoon session- children participated in a range of themed activities linked to the country of Italy.

These activities included:

• making simple Margherita pizzas
• art under tables linked to the Sistine Chapel
• learning key words and Italian phrases
• research about the country of Italy and creating information posters
• making necklaces from dried pasta
• Italian colouring sheets

The children really enjoyed themselves. I would like to say a huge thank-you to Mrs Della Rocca who organised the afternoon and even dressed for the occasion in her Italian football kit!

Coming next: Poland afternoon on May 24th and an international day modern foreign languages day on the 20th June.
