Looking for ideas! Not a political debate.
it’s Cultural appreciation Day next week at my son’s school, there’s quite a lot of different backgrounds that his classmates are coming from (only 15 in the class but it’s a southeast London borough) and we are actually in a bit of a minority being white British.
But they want parents to be involved which is very nice and it happens to be a day I’m not working, so they’re inviting us to come in and do a 5-10 min activity and take some traditional food from your culture to a class lunch.
As I say we are just English. Not even any Scottish or Irish or Welsh or things that are widely celebrated. I suppose it’s just making me wonder if it’s ‘ok’ to outwardly celebrate being white British without causing any offence (please no Reform-esque debates here I am trying to navigate it appropriately!
What do I do? Learn morris dancing? Dress as a Pearly Queen 😂
I thought about just reading a Paddington Bear book and making some marmalade sandwiches but is that a bit lame?
DS is only in reception by the way so they’re all very small obviously and they’re still all getting to know each other as a class.
