This term we got together to celebrate our first International Week at Bishop Luffa.
Our wonderful International Team ran assemblies every day to give everyone the opportunity to get to know each other better.
Together we learnt that at Bishop Luffa we are very lucky to have students and teachers from 33 different countries. That week also gave us the opportunity to learn more about these places.
Our students and teachers wrote an "I love from" poem to tell us more about their countries of origin. The poem tells us where our students are from without mentioning the name of the country. As clues the first two lines of the poem are about food from their country, then they talk about their childhood memories and sayings and finally they mention famous people, family and friends. If you want to guess where our students are from please watch the "I love from " poems below.
Poem 5
I am from reading lips to understand what people are saying
I am from talking and communicating without sound
I am from shaping words and stories in the air with just my hands
I am from listening with my eyes not my ears
I am from wishing I could hear but I cannot
I am from Sophie Stone, Marlee Matlin, Rose Ayling - Ellis, my grandparents, my parents, my siblings, myself.
I am international I am from Bishop Luffa.
Finally during lunch time, our students ran an International raffle and the lucky winners received wonderful prizes donated to our school by our partners in South Korea and a variety of businesses.
International week has finished, but our International Team still meets regularly to develop more projects that bring us all together. If you would like to be part of the team, just come and join us. We are all international and we are all from Bishop Luffa school.
