🇮🇹 Italian Day Celebration – Friday 14th November 

We’re thrilled to announce our upcoming Italian Day on Friday, 14th November! This special day is a celebration of Italian language, culture, and community, and promises to be a wonderful experience for all our students.

Students are encouraged to dress in Italian-themed costumes or colours (red, green, and white) to help create a festive atmosphere. They might choose to dress as a famous Italian figure like Marco Polo or a much-loved character such as Pinocchio, a pizza chef, soccer player etc

The day will begin with an Italian Assembly, where classes will present songs, poems, and performances celebrating all things Italian.

Following assembly the students will rotate through a series of fun cultural activities, including bocce, marionette (Pinocchio) making and tombola (Italian Bingo).

There will be an Italian food tasting table featuring delicious treats such as arancini, pizza, cheeses, cakes, and biscuits. Parents are warmly invited to contribute - please see the message sent out on DOJO for details. The canteen menu on this day will also be Italian-themed for the day!

We’ll finish the day with a friendly teachers vs. students soccer match - a nod to Italy’s national sport! To make it even more enjoyable, a Gelato Truck will be on-site serving gelato while the game is in progress.

It’s sure to be a fun-filled, flavourful, and festive day as we celebrate the joy of Italian culture together. We thank Signora Bennett for organising such a wonderful day four school community!

Viva l’Italia!
