Yesterday saw Ilam School turn into a rainbow of colours with the celebration of Cultural Day. Some amazing national costumes and themed outfits were on display as children celebrated their culture and heritage.
We even had a couple of class members who got to carry the flags representing their country! Zawl lead The Maldives and Melika lead Iran.
The concert was another display of amazing talent by many members of the school. Below you can see (or not quite see) Maia and Emily doing a Scottish dance...
..Melika singing the Iranian national anthem...
...Nilana playing a drum song from Sri Lanka...
... and Erica dancing as part of the Japanese group. She's right down the end in the black and pink kimono. Azusa would have been there too if she hadn't been sick.
What better way to celebrate the day than with a shared lunch? What an amazing array of cultural food!
It's a lot of work leading up to the day, but you'd have to say that it was well worth it!
