Commonwealth Day at Rushey Mead School — a blog post by Priya, 15, Leicester (England)
This morning, our whole school gathered in the playground for Commonwealth Day. Like every year, it took place on the second Monday of March. The head teacher raised the blue Commonwealth flag with its golden globe, and a Year 7 pupil read the King's message. It was short: he said that the 56 member states were « a family of nations ».
Then each class presented a country. My class chose Ghana because my best friend Kwame's parents were born in Accra. We cooked jollof rice, and Kwame explained that Ghana gained its independence in 1957, the first colony in sub-Saharan Africa to do so. My own grandparents came to Leicester from Gujarat, in India, in 1972, so I already knew a lot about the Commonwealth: a third of the world's population lives in it!
The best part was the video call with a school in Wellington, New Zealand. It was already evening there. The Kiwi students performed a haka and asked us if we played cricket. Of course we do — this is Leicester! Next year, I'd like our class to present Canada.
