Calderdale schools: Dancing and tasty food as Calderdale children enjoy schools' first Culture Day

The Calder Learning Trust – which runs Calder Primary School and Calder High School in Mytholmroyd – organised the day to celebrate the rich and diverse cultures in the schools’ communities.

There were a host of activities for students to enjoy, including food from around the world a workshop delivered by Anna Purna Dance and visitors from the food banks at St Michael’s Church in Mytholmroyd.

Hannah Jones, Deputy Headteacher, said: “Culture Day at Calder is a vibrant school event themed around celebrating and embracing the rich and diverse cultures that exist within our school community.

"We planned different activities for children to explore themes of identity and tradition.

"Today is our first Culture Day and we are excited to see what amazing things have been produced by our students.

"We are hoping this is the first of many more.”
