Today, we were delighted to welcome Staff Sgt. Adom-Baffour to our assembly to talk about Ghana Independence Day, which will be celebrated on Thursday, 6 March. Sgt. Adom-Baffour, the husband of our TA, Mrs Adom-Baffour, shared an insightful presentation about Ghana’s rich culture and history. Mrs Adom-Baffour looked stunning in her traditional Ghanaian dress.

The children loved entering the hall to the sounds of Afro Beats and were captivated as they learned about Ghana’s food, clothing, language, geography, kings, presidents, and footballers. It is incredibly important to us that our pupils develop an understanding of their local, national, and global neighbours, fostering respect and appreciation for different cultures. This is why we place such value on the International Dimension within our curriculum.

Inspired by today’s assembly, we can’t wait to learn Twi and dance like Mrs Adom-Baffour! Next year, we hope to mark Ghana Independence Day by serving traditional Ghanaian food. We were also delighted by the children’s enthusiasm and the many thoughtful questions they asked. The children will be participating in some extension activities during the week.

A huge thank you to Sgt. Adom-Baffour for giving us such a memorable learning experience!
