“Our Culture, Our Heritage, Our Turks and Caicos.”
There are many planned events throughout the islands but one of the most exciting children’s event was the third annual ISTCI Conch Festival which took place on Friday October 21. The children spent the day engaged in activities which they were learning about the heritage of this nation. Part of this involved learning about conch and its relevance to the history of the TCI.![Turks and Caicos Conch Festival Grade 4 Conch Festival (32)](http://www.internationalschooltci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Grade-4-Conch-Festival-32-e1477415668789.jpg)

Creating the perfect Conch recipe
Each class was very excited about taking part in this event. Each class prepared a conch dish that would entered in our own conch festival. The morning was very busy. Children washing, chopping, cutting, measuring and competing for that honour of being the ISTCI Conch Festival winner!! Many parents came to help each class adding their special touch to the recipes.![Conch Festival Conch Festival](http://www.internationalschooltci.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Grade-4-Conch-Festival-15-e1477415744777.jpg)
