Multi-Cultural Bristol Week at Beacon Rise
Recently we held a Multi-Cultural Bristol Week at Beacon Rise so that we could find out all about the different cultures that are in and around Bristol.
 
 
Different year groups learnt about the cultures of the Caribbean, India, Africa, Italy, China, Poland and Pakistan.
 
We had lots of visitors, like a Caribbean poet and story teller, who really made us laugh, a henna artist, Indian cooks and dancers, as well as many others!
 
In the canteen, Pat cooked lunches from some of the different cultures and we had lots of fun doing art work, cooking, playing games and lots of other things, some of us even had a go at the limbo!
 
Children and staff at the school had a wonderful week and learnt a lot about the different cultures and how they have had an impact on our lives in Bristol.
 
Comments from staff:
“I feel that my class have a better understanding of cultures through fun, enjoyment and hands-on experience. The week has left me in high spirits.”
“I’ve really enjoyed having the freedom and time to do so many creative tasks and deeply explore the cultures that influence Bristol.”
“I feel the children have a better understanding of cultural differences and an understanding of where well-known things come from and what they are influenced by.”
