Heritage Day

On Wednesday we had Heritage Day at school. It's a way for the children (and teachers) to get a look at the culture of the United Arab Emirates. All the children dress up in national dress (very cute) and there are numerous events throughout the day in different areas of the school.

Here I am holding a falcon. It is suprisingly heavy!

We were visited by some girls from a local university, they showed the boys how to wrap their head dress in the traditional Emarati way and one of them did Henna designs for all the girls. She told me it would come off in a week but I have my doubts!

I now have 9 more school days until holidays, YAY!
