Last week, our children enjoyed a wonderful visit from Mangotree Kids and The Jolly Djembe Club, bringing together music, storytelling, culture and exploration in a truly memorable experience.
From listening to African stories and discovering books that celebrate diversity, to exploring different cultural artefacts and joining in with drumming and rhythm activities, the children were encouraged to learn about the world around them through curiosity and play.
These experiences help children develop confidence, communication skills, respect for others and an understanding that every person, family and culture has a story worth celebrating.
At Monkey Puzzle Streatham Common, creating opportunities for children to explore different cultures and perspectives is an important part of how we live our G.R.A.I.N.S values, particularly Respect, Aspiration and Growth Mindset.
A huge thank you to Catherine and the Mangotree Kids team for inspiring such thoughtful conversations, joyful learning and lots of drumming fun ๐
