The children all looked fabulous dressed in red and green to celebrate our Morocco Day last Friday at Shelford School! We gathered together at the 'airport' before heading off in Houses to our various destinations to discover more about this wonderful country through a series of activities surrounding art, food and culture. We made decorative Moroccan lamps, tasted cous cous, falafel and mint tea, investigated buildings and landscapes and even tried our hand at writing in Arabic, Morocco's official language! Thanks go to the PTA for funding resources, to parent helpers for giving up their time and of course to the super Shelford staff for planning and preparing the fun activities across the day. It was also lovely to work with local artist, Clare Basel, who was impressed at how creative and resilient our children were when it came to their art work! Morocco Day was inspired by our partnership with Secteur Scolaire Annour, who created the beautiful video as thanks to us below!

# data[].attributes.body
Starting on 12 January, Amazigh people in Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya, and parts of Egypt, as well as the diaspora, will celebrate Yennayer, the Amazigh new year. Watch the video from S/S Annour to see pupils celebrating this special day. How are they celebrating? What foods can you spot? Is this celebration similar or different to our New Year celebrations?

We're delighted to present the music of our song 'Tamazirt n Yan' (Motherland) which I've just recorded and mastered. The idea is to produce a song about the love for the motherland in three languages (Arabic, English and Tamazight which is an official language in Morocco beside Arabic). We have the idea to produce a video clip as well. Pupils at Sprowston School will add lyrics soon!
