On Friday 12 January, Prep children welcomed the New Year in a very French way and celebrated the “Epiphanie”. The children were able to sample La Galette des Rois a traditional cake which hides “la fève”, a charm figurine inside it.

The Galettes from the French Company “Brioche Pasquier” were truly delicious. The children performed the ritual of the Galette, where the youngest child goes under the table and directs the distribution of the piece of cake. The lucky person to find the “fève” becomes the King or Queen for the day and gets to wear the paper crown. It gives children cultural awareness and they all thoroughly enjoy it. What a fantastic way to start the New Year!
