Beginning on Monday, 27th May, volunteers from the community showed the students how to make old-time toys such as kites, rollers and bird traps. Teachers were also taught how to make brooms from thatch, sticks and string – and students participated in an Essay Writing Competition. ?
On Wednesday, 29th May, the school held a programme for its Anguilla Day Celebrations. This began with flags flying high to the song ‘We’re Out to Build a New Anguilla.’ Items on the programme included a guest speaker talking about the Anguilla Revolution, choral speaking and the recently crowned Primary School King of Calypso performing his victorious song. The programme’s grand finale was a fashion show where students paraded their Anguilla costumes to the rest of the school and a selection of staff and managers from Four Seasons, (who were also the judges for the contest.
A lunch for all the students was kindly hosted by Four Seasons Resort.
