Parade Of Nations At ISU

 The world art work by the children

Last week saw ISU, the school Paige attends have their International Week. 
One of the activities was the "Parade of Nations". Where each child takes part in the school parade in their country section. There are currently children from thirty three countries that attend ISU so the children and teachers all took part wearing national costumes and countries not having a national costume the children wore what they thought would be considered clothing from their country.
As each country's name was called the children and teachers from that country entered up onto the stage and part of the national anthems where played. Australia was the first country to be called and Paige held one of the Australian flags.
It was great to see all the children and teachers taking part and the idea behind this activity is to give the children a sense of pride in one's own nationality and culture and promote the children to engage in curiosity in other cultures.
