Dressing up lessons on European Union
LEARNING LEGENDS: Elle Hutchinson (dressed as Medusa) and Rebecca Joseph take part in Europe Day
LEARNING LEGENDS: Elle Hutchinson (dressed as Medusa) and Rebecca Joseph take part in Europe Day

A SCHOOL has marked Europe Day by dressing up for the occasion, with staff and pupils donning national costumes from across the Continent.

Levendale School, Yarm, celebrated the 58th anniversary of the birth of the European Union with a breakfast of croissants, cheese, meats, a Spanish omelette and fresh fruit.

Class registers were taken in European languages, and songs, dancing and music from the Continent were performed.

A spokeswoman for the school said: "It is hoped the day will enrich and bring to life the pupils' understanding of the other countries within Europe and ignite their curiosity to learn more.''
