Today we celebrated the many cultures we have at Ilam School with a "Cultural Day".
Room 3 children made a real effort to dress up! We discussed the different cultures in our class and the traditional costumes of those cultures.

Later, we paraded down the street in a procession filled with the colours of the many costumes and flags.
After morning tea we watched a concert together. There were dances, martial arts displays, a Korean Drum dance, singing, piano playing and a Japanese drum group.
Afterwards, we shared a delicious lunch consisting of food from different cultures.
In the afternoon, we took part in activities such as Calligraphy, Origami, South African games and Samoan dancing.
