Culture Day Celebrates Our Different Cultures at HABS
HABS held its first Culture Day earlier this month, with students taking part in a special culture assembly and sessions on language, art and music, as well as personal development and a PSHE session.
Students delved into a samba fete band, for example, after learning about the carnival roots of Brazilian music. Applying their body percussion skills, they devised their own rhythm and sounds of Rio De Janeiro festival bands.
Albanian, Greek, Bulgarian and Sign Languages were just some of the languages our students were taught on the day. They were engaged in communicating in new languages and expressing themselves around the academy.
After learning about the cultures of others, students had the opportunity to discuss and share their own cultures - including discussing key terminology such as ethnicity and nationality.
They embraced the aspect of themselves that includes a pick-a-mix culture whilst preserving their own cultures and traditions, which they expressed through 'my identity posters' which will be showcased around the school.
Lastly, students gathered for a cultural appreciation assembly which outlined the importance of celebrating multiculturalism. From fashion shows of attires across the globe to energetic dance moves, this was 'one of the best assemblies ever'.
Students hosted and showcased talents from across the globe to summarise the importance of respecting and understanding the cultures of others.
