Celebrating Arabic Language Week
Our first Arabic Language Week focused on basic greetings, colours, words for animals and what the letters look and sound like. In the middle of the week we had a lunchtime feast to celebrate Eid (Eid al-Fitr was celebrated this year in New Zealand on Thursday 6 June 2019).
All whanau were invited to join us for a chicken biryani (or the vegetarian option) lunch at 11.30am on Tuesday 11 June to try traditional food eaten at Id al-Fitr or Hari Raya - the Festival of the Breaking of the Fast. Sweet treats are also eaten at this time, and many were eaten after lunch along with mango lassi.
