All Day

On Family Day, we will celebrate all our families, their similarities and their differences. Prior to the festival day, the children will draw a picture of an activity that you all like to do together as a family, and then as we sit together on the 17th, they will tell us all about what they have drawn. Each child will also have time to tell us anything they find interesting or special about their family: maybe you speak a language other than English at home; maybe they, or you, or your parents were born in a different country; perhaps you celebrate different festivals – we just want to get to know each other better. If you  have a photograph, or an object that is significant to your family, your child can bring this also and tell us all about it.

On that day, we will have a potluck for our morning snack, and so I ask you all to send in something that you like to eat together as a family. It can be as simple or as complicated as you like. Just be sure that you send enough to share – we have some really big appetites in the Bluebells!
