🖤💛💚 BLACK HISTORY MONTH AT NHC 💚💛🖤
What a month it’s been! Our little ones have been on a journey all around the world without leaving SW16 🌍
🇯🇲 Jamaican patties made from scratch, rice and peas and juicy fruit tasting
🇸🇴 Somali flags, camels and a delicious chicken stew with golden rice
🇰🇪 Handa’s Surprise, Swahili words, chapati, mandazi and cassava
🇳🇬 Jollof, puff puff and plantain (gone in minutes!)
🇬🇭 Kente cloth and drumming
🇬🇾🇧🇧 Guyana and Barbados stories and flags
🗺️ Making our own maps of Africa
💕 Hair Love and celebrating all our beautiful hair
👑 Basquiat crowns and Chris Ofili inspired faces
📚 Trips to our local library and shop
And the big one... our very own NHC CARNIVAL! 🎭 The children made their masks and we paraded down the road to Norbury park in the sunshine. So lovely to see!
A HUGE thank you to our NHC families 🙏 So many of you sent in clothes, jewellery, carnival costumes and food from home so your little ones could proudly share their countries of origin with their friends. The children were delighted to share. We really couldn’t do it without you!
This is what NHC is all about. Every child, every family, every culture celebrated 💛
