Before our big end-of-term party we like to have a small, quiet get-together at our school in Turnpike Lane for an afternoon of games, chatting, and an international buffet of pastries and homemade goodies with our students.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”19621″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Europe, South America, and Asia were all represented, and every dish had a story to go along with it about family traditions, recipes, and the best time of year to eat this particular dish.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”19613″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Students were hopping around like frogs, nibbling on non-existent carrots like Easter rabbits, and yo-yoing with air yo-yos as everyone struggled to find the obscure word in English for this object that they definitely knew but couldn’t name. After our Inglans had caught their breath, we had a few rounds of a quiz to test our students’ knowledge on geography, English, sport, and more.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”19615″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]This is an opportunity for everyone to close out the term, say goodbye to our leavers, and share a bit about their country through the universal language of food. Our winter 2018 term was no different, as our students came out in force, creating a mouth-watering spread that included a Spanish omelette, a selection of Polish cold cuts, homemade Turkish borek, Chinese noodles with black mushrooms, and Portuguese natas, among many other delicious dishes.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”19614″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Amid the food and stories games were being played. Charades, as always, was a big hit. Everyone got into the International Food Day spirit, leaving aside their shyness and inhibitions and acting out even the most ridiculous of things for their teammates to guess.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”19622″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]It was great to see the spirit of collaboration among our students. Everyone put in a great effort to come up with the right answers and spit them out without getting crumbs everywhere. International Food Day was a great success, and a fitting prelude to Ingla’s Coming of Spring party later that night…[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css_animation=””][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]
