BWA International Families Day
2025-05-22 | Belleville Wix Academy, Wix Lane, London, SW4 0AJ, United Kingdom
Re: International Families Day

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are excited to share with you that we will be celebrating International Families Day on Thursday 22nd May at BWA. To celebrate our diverse and international family community, we will be hosting a range of events during the school day and after school. We hope that you can support us in our efforts to make this a really memorable and enjoyable experience for all.

Homework project:
We invite all pupils to complete a project of their choice which celebrates their heritage. We encourage our pupils to showcase their creativity in this project. Here are some ideas: create a family tree, a sculpture of a landmark or prepare a show and tell. Some pupils may even like to interview a family member to learn more about their family history or heritage. Pupils should bring their homework projects to their class teacher by Monday 19th May. There will be an International Families Day Assembly during this week where some pupils will have the opportunity to share their projects and learn more about their teachers’ heritage.

International Families Day – Thursday 22nd May

We would like to invite all pupils to come dressed in their national dress or colours of the flag that represents their country or heritage. If your child has a PE lesson on this day, please ensure that they are wearing a suitable outfit.

We feel that it would be an incredible experience if some of our parent community were able to visit us in school and share a part of your culture and heritage with the pupils. This could be through talking to a class, teaching them a skill or a national song/dance, completing an arts and crafts activity or anything else you may like to share. If you would like to volunteer, please indicate this on the form at the end of this letter by Friday 2nd May and we will be in contact to discuss this with you. Do speak to us if you have any questions about this.

We invite all families to join us for an international buffet after-school which will take place in our lower hall. Families can then enjoy the food in the canteen and in the playground. To make this a success, we kindly request donations of food from around the world. Donations of food should be brought to the school office from 2:30pm. You may prefer to make a monetary contribution to the buffet which can be made on school gateway. The buffet will open at 3:30pm.

To ensure that allergies and dietary requirements are met, please complete the slip below and attach this to the dish. You can collect one of these paper forms from our office. All food must be nut free.

Please complete this form if you plan to attend the international buffet and if you would like to volunteer to visit us at school.

We look forward to celebrating International Families Day with you.

Kind regards,
Year 2 Teacher
