Intercultural Day 2023
Food, glorious food….
This year, we chose food as our focus for Intercultural Day which is always a popular and very enjoyable choice. Classes discussed their favourite foods, foods they have for special occasions and customs enjoyed by people around the world. We were delighted to welcome back parents to the classrooms once again to showcase foods and information from countries to which they have close links. The children sampled many delights from countries such as Finland, Italy, Spain, China, Moldova, France and Germany to name but a few. Some classes explored culinary delights from Ireland such as potato cakes, scones and boxty. Many of these recipes were put together by all the classes in a D7ET International Recipe book which is now in each class library.
Cabra library provided us with lots of books to enjoy about different cultures around the world and many classes came together to enjoy ‘buddy reading’. This was a lovely addition to our celebration. The staff and children would like to sincerely thank all the volunteers who baked, cooked and gave of their time and expertise this week. It was a most enjoyable week.
