Celebrating our GRT children
Our school were visited by EMTAS, the Ethnic Minority Traveller Achievement service who ran an assembly called #Project.
This was to celebrate all the children in our school who have different languages and cultures.
They worked with the children throughout the day, discussing some of their family customs and learning some words in their home language and these were shared with the whole school and parents during the assembly.
