World Refugee Day

Tomorrow is World Refugee Day. This display is a collection of books that help us to empathise with world refugees.

Diversity Day

We celebrated our diversity on Diversity Day - Friday, 7th May. In the library, I displayed books about countries all around the world, and books on how we are the same and different, and all born free.

In the morning our parade was rained on, but the festivities continued throughout the day with class photos, shared meals from different heritage countries, and a parade in the hall.

Visitors to the library at lunchtime enjoyed posing for photographs and reading books about different countries.

After lunch, the school enjoyed a drumming performance.

The children loved talking about the countries they have immigrated from, or where their ancestors come from, or about their favourite Kiwiana.
