During October, we are taking part in national celebrations to honour the accomplishments of Black Britons across society and across history. We are inviting parents to be part of these celebrations by coming into Nursery to share a part of their family history and culture with the children. We are happy to have parents in during all of next term and during the rest of the year.
Coming in to class to share could include:
- Talking to the children about your family history/home-country (show photos or special objects)
- Painting pictures with your child inspired by artists such as Frank Bowling and Jennifer Packer.
- Reading a story that celebrates Black culture with the children.
- Showing the children clothes what you wear on special occasions.
- Showing the children how you style your child’s hair – what products and accessories you use.
- Playing dominoes with the children or other traditional family games.
- Teaching the children traditional songs.
- Cooking dishes such as Jollof rice, plantain and dumplings.
