Celebrating Spanish Language and Culture at Vita et Pax Preparatory School
Yesterday, on January 14th, Vita et Pax Preparatory School in North London, Enfield, celebrated Spanish Day, a fantastic event that brought our community together to embrace the language, culture, and food of Spain. The day was a wonderful opportunity for students, staff, and parents to immerse themselves in Spanish traditions and learn through fun, interactive activities.
The celebrations began as students and staff arrived in school dressed in the colours of the Spanish flag, traditional attire, or even Spanish football kits. The atmosphere was lively, with everyone joining in the spirit of the occasion.
Our Year 5 and 6 students started off the day by serving a delicious Spanish breakfast that included churros, pastries, fresh fruit, orange juice, and hot chocolate, which was also available for the parents. The children even practised their Spanish language skills by taking orders and serving in Spanish, a great way to apply what they’ve been learning in class.
A Spanish-themed lunch prepared by our talented chef was another highlight, giving everyone a taste of authentic Spanish cuisine. As the day progressed, students participated in a range of activities, including flamenco dancing, creating Spanish art, and making decorative fans. Special Humanities lessons also brought Spanish culture to life, teaching the history and traditions of the country.
The celebration culminated in a special assembly, led by Mr. Brion, where children sang Spanish songs and participated in a fun quiz. It was a fantastic way to end the day, showcasing everything the students had learned.
A big thank you to Mr. Brion for organising such a memorable Spanish Day at Vita et Pax Preparatory School. We can’t wait for next year’s event!
