World Tea Day - 21st May

International Tea Day was marked in our school on the 23^rd of May. On this day, we had conversations with our children in their different schools about the importance of tea as the world’s most consumed drink, after water.

Do you know that Tea production and processing constitutes a main source of livelihoods for millions of families in developing countries and is the main means of subsistence for millions of poor families, who live in a number of least developed countries?

Our children learnt that the production and distribution of the tea plant is one of the ways to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 1 – No Poverty.

Our Kindergarten school marked their International Tea Day with a fun outdoor garden tea party.

The children wore crowns, stacked their own biscuits, and learnt to make tea. They practised how to bow and curtsy at the table, and had some fun with games and tea rhymes.

How would you mark this event?
