Calderstones taste of culture
by Educate Magazine May 14, 2015 · Gallery
The 2015 Culture Festival was a very successful event which brought together Calderstones pupils from many different countries, parents and members of the local communities with an amazing showcase of food, music and cultural displays. The aim of the day was to involve the school and wider community to highlight what a multicultural and diverse school Calderstones is and how this should be celebrated.
Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, France, South Korea, Yemen, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Spain, Sudan, England, Ireland (all countries to which many pupils have connections) and the culture of the ‘outdoors’ with Emma Taylor, were celebrated with displays of artwork and facts about each country, which had all been produced by the children. Many of the visitors and parents commented on the fantastic atmosphere in the room.
