The children take part in some dancing in the playground |
A playing field
in Mattishall came alive to music and traditions from the four corners
of the world at the start of July.
Around 1,600
children from primary schools across the Dereham area celebrated
the Our World Festival.
The event was
staged at Mattishall Primary to give pupils a better understanding
of different cultures.
Children were
treated to an afternoon of traditional Bhangra music, folk dancing,
African drumming, gospel singers, Indian art, storytelling and Flemish
dancing.
The grand
circle dance - which marked the opening of the Our World Festival
at Mattishall. |
The pupils,
aged between four and eleven, were encouraged to get involved as
much as possible.
A huge circle
dance, with seven rings of children performing Jewish and Flemish
routines, marked the start of the afternoon.
The festival
was set up by Norfolk Multicultural Services and Norfolk Education
And Action for Development.
Mattishall's
event was the third of five Our World Festivals being held across
the county.
