National Dress Day

National Dress day

National Dress day was a wonderful opportunity for the Grade 3 community to acknowledge and celebrate its diversity, making explicit one of the key features of the PYP - International Mindedness. Grade 3 sparkled today with colour through costumes, languages, food, and traditions, etc. Students and teachers were reminded of the great number of commonalities and differences we have within our school and were given an opportunity to be open-minded with others. India being diverse in itself, represented cultures of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Bihar, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, Bengal etc. Whereas the international stage was set by students from Belgium, Finland, Spain, Korea and Japan. Students not only enjoyed sharing their food with the other cultures but were proud of who they were. In a class ceremony students proudly shared their family values by displaying the beautiful ‘family crests’ they made. This event was in conjunction with the present unit of inquiry based on ’similarities and differences’ under the trans-disciplinary theme; ‘Who we are’.
