This fortnight we are celebrating our very first virtual Diversity Fortnight at Citywest ETNS. We have so many families that add to our school’s window to the world & we want to celebrate with you, our school community!
We will be asking you to share your knowledge of food, language and inspirational people from other countries. We really hope you will take part and we can get to learn more about each other together!
Take a look at the powerpoint slides below to see the activities we have suggested for you each day. You can use the submission form to send in your activities to share with us. We can't wait to see them :)
