Today, Mrs Barnham and her class embraced the spirit of Thanksgiving, a cherished American tradition. As a native of the United States, Mrs Barnham shared her culture by bringing in a homemade pumpkin pie, a classic Thanksgiving treat, for her pupils to enjoy. The sweet, spiced dessert was a hit and gave the class a delicious taste of this special holiday.

Thanksgiving is a time to come together and reflect on the many things we are grateful for. Inspired by the tradition, Mrs Barnham encouraged her class to pause and think about things they appreciate in their lives. Here are a few of their heartwarming answers:

“I am thankful for my family and friends.”

“I am thankful for having a home, with a beautiful park opposite it, and in the morning, there is a beautiful sunrise.”

“I am thankful for a lovely school and doing lovely things there!”
