Each year at South Hill School, we celebrate 'International Day'. Each year group represents a country from around the world which is also representative of our South Hill communities. For that day, year groups represent and learn more about their chosen country and can wear traditional clothing from their celebrated country or colours of the flag. 

​ 

All pupils learn about the geography of their chosen country and where to locate the country on a map, what continent the country is part of and what countries are nearby, we might learn about famous buildings and landmarks. 

  

For PE, we are lucky to have Don Rae Academy join us to teach traditional dances from each country. Make sure you come in and watch our fantastic performances in the afternoon!

  

For MFL (Modern Foreign Language), all year groups learn a few key phrases and words. We also focus on learning a traditional song! 

  

All year groups have the opportunity to taste food originating from that country. Some year groups complete a food tasting activity while other year groups make the traditional food themselves. 

 

Some year groups look at the religion and the history of their chosen country, focusing on some significant people from that country and how the country has possibly changed over time. 

​ 

The countries remain the same each year, ensuring that our children gain a rich understanding of different cultures and traditions from all over the world. 

 

The countries represented are:

Reception- Bangladesh 

Year 1- Poland 

Year 2- India 

Year 3- Romania 

Year 4- Portugal

Year 5- Turkey 

Year 6- Ghana

"I wanted to pass on my thanks to the staff who made today (international day) at school so special. My son came home very happy and inspired by the country (and food!) of Bangladesh. The dance performance at the end of the day was wonderful and you could see how hard children and staff worked to make this happen."
