At Ashley Road, we love that we have a school community full of different beliefs and cultures. We'd like to celebrate our differences and learn about different cultures. A culture group are planning an exciting culture week during
w/b 12th of June. We are looking for parents to support our event and we'd like you to complete this form if you can help in any way.
We are looking for help in 3 areas:
1. Class workshops. On the Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, we're looking for parents/carers to spend 30 minutes in classes sharing about their culture and allowing pupils to ask questions. You can choose what you share - dance, music, clothes, art lesson, stories, traditions, sports, games or about famous people. If you’d like to wear cultural clothes during the workshop, we’d really like that.
2. Assembly sharing. We would like some parents to share 5 minutes about their culture with the school and maybe allow a couple of questions. We have assembly on Thursday and Friday from 2.20 - 3pm. We'd be asking you to stay the whole assembly if you can.
3. Culture exhibition. On the Thursday and Friday, we would like to set up an exhibition to teach the school about lots of different cultures. On the stall there could be things like: clothes, food to smell, important items from your culture, photos, a flag, maps, information about what you do or the history of your culture, interesting fact, unique things about your culture, traditions, famous people, sports, style of writing or language. We’d be looking for you to set up your stall on Thursday from 9 to 9.30am. We’d invite you to pack up from 2.30 - 3pm on Friday. You do not need to stay at your stall the whole time.
Please complete this form by Friday 26th May. We will be in touch after that to confirm plans once we know how many people would like to be part of our culture week.
Thank you in advance for helping with our culture week. If you have any questions, please get in touch with us.
Kind Regards,
Vivienne, Alexandra, Robyn, Salma, Douglas, Zayd, Eva, Renad, Leah, Jiahe & Miss Blair
