In the week beginning November the 25th, the school will celebrate an Italian cultural week. A number of things will happen during this week.. 

Firstly, there will be a school incursion on Monday the 25th of November. This will be held in the school hall. We have an Italian magician coming to perform 2 shows during the day for the children.

On Friday  the  29th of November at about 9am, we will have a school parade. Parents, family and friends are warmly welcomed to attend. The children are invited to dress up in the Italian colours (green, white and red) or as an Italian character. 

Some simple ideas are as follows:

•  a pizza chef - just need a pizza box and an apron 
•  a gondolier driver - a stripey top and black pants
•  gelato (ice cream) - a colourful wig with brown clothing 
•  a Carnevale participant- a mask (can be made or Spotlight has some)
•  a soccer player - soccer top and soccer ball
•  a painter like Michelangelo - school art smock or old shirt and a paintbrush
•  any clothing with the Italian colours (red, white green) - some children wear  green  sports tops on sports day and all children have a red polo shirt. 
•  An Italian flag

During this week, the children will also be able to taste some gelati. If your child is not able to have gelati because of health issues, please contact Carla Scholtes on the email address below to arrange an alternative. We usually also have available gluten and dairy free sorbet, such as Gelativo from Woolies but please let her know if your child will need this.The gelati will be served in cups, not cones.
