The Eal Team have had a very busy start to the academic year with 3 schools in Knowsley having signed up to become a School of Sanctuary. We are optimistic that many more will commit to this worthwhile award.
Over half term the
Team hosted a ‘Multilanguage Event’ at Huyton Library. The event was open to all and some
parents participated in the event with costumes and reading books from their countries.
We had traditional savouries, sweets and biscuits from all over the world, again parents brought home made cake and cookies from their country of origin.
Movema the professional dance group held a workshop teaching children and adults dances from all over the world. Everybody joined in with great enthusiasm.
We also hosted an Origami class where children and parents learnt how to make cranes.
The concentration and eagerness of these groups was amazing.
They were taught this by a member of the team’s husband who had his audience transfixed.
The Sudanese School also joined us demonstrating dances from North, East, South and West Sudan. The dances were lively and colourful. 17 Sudanese children and their parents were involved in the dances. Their grand finale was a Sudanese Wedding Dance. The audience were given sweets and pastries to sample as the wedding ceremony took place.
All in all it was a great day and was successful in so many ways.
It was a fantastic way of showcasing the different languages and cultures in Knowsley as well as bringing people together. It allowed people of different cultures to mix as well as informing the people of Knowsley about the wealth of culture we have.
