International awareness education gives a good opportunity to children to learn about different cultures, customs and food all around the world. In April, we chose France as the theme of the event.

France is a rich and fascinating country in so many ways.  It is known for its beautiful architecture and spectacular cuisine.

Our French event took place in the third week of April. First, we introduced some new coloring activities so the children got familiar with the colors of the French flag and a few of France’s famous building. The children also had the opportunity to find the country in the map of Europe.

As the main art craft of the week, the children were making three-dimensional models of Pari’s iconic building, the Eiffel tower. The children colored and cut out the four sides of the tower and used glue to paste them together.

The main event of the week was an extensive presentation introducing France to the children. First, we learned about the geography of the country and its location in the map.

Next, we went for sightseeing and visited the famous sightseeing spots of the capital city, Paris.

After that, the children learned about the French cuisine and saw pictures of various soups, main dishes and desserts.

Finally the children challenged their knowledge about the country and played a quiz answering to questions about France and its culture.

This kind of events the children can learn more and more about the World. Next month, we are going to focus on the Singapore.
