Somervale School celebrated diversity in their recent Theme Day. Pupils participated in an exciting and wide variety of activities which broadened their horizons and introduced them to other cultures, languages and foods.
Students took lessons in Mandarin, cooked Pad Thai food, created stop animation films of Hindu weddings, took part in blind football and other disability sports, created amazing art projects and played music from around the world. The day aimed to get students to think about how all humans are equal and to allow them the opportunity to understand people who they perceive as different from themselves. The day was a great success. Some feedback from students: Leila, in Year 7, said: “I thought the day was good because it raised both awareness of diversity and our similarities with others.”
