Tonight we had vegetarian lasagna and milk pudding to celebrate the last weekend before the holidays!

The girls were happy to eat at home and have a quiet time before going to bed for the last week of school! The main conversation was about how excited they are to go back home 🙂 But also, we discussed what do they do and how they call the end of year celebrations back in their country.

This was a nice way to discuss diversity around the theme of  “end of year celebrations” and also other celebrations. The girls seemed very mature towards this theme and discussed how important it is to be respectful of different cultures and beliefs. In another word, we tested each other to check how well we knew our own culture.

In the end, we learned that the best way to understand other people’s cultures is to first examine your own. Most of us take our background for granted, and we’re rarely challenged to evaluate it. However, it’s only through appreciating our own unique cultural makeup that we can fully appreciate others’.

What is it that you believe in? What biases do you have? What behaviours define you, and would any of them seem odd or unusual to someone with a different culture? These aren’t easy questions to answer, but they did open their eyes to understanding other cultures.

We all have our unique filter through which we view the world, and recognising that fact makes it easier to see other points of view.

And was this way that we finished the day, and guess what, we all learned different card games from each other country 🙂

Today was the end of the Year dinner party.

The girls were happy to be celebrating this evening together. Even though the hygiene measures were restricted and well followed, we did have an amazing evening with extremely delicious food.

They have been working hard this year and they have fully deserved this moment.

The decoration was amazing, everyone enjoyed it, no need for more words, the pictures speak for themselves ! 🙂
