A SCHOOL in Figheldean celebrated their links with a school in Ghana at a special summer fayre on Friday.
St Michael’s Primary School has established strong links with the Abonse School in Ghana, with each making regular visits to the other, and three Ghanaian teachers are currently visiting the school again.
When Ann Harvey and Lucy Palmer from St Michael’s returned from their last trip to Abonse they brought back half of a textile hanging made by the children there.
Pupils at St Michael’s have been working on their half in a club run by Mrs Harvey. Each half of the textile has stitching and appliqué objects symbolic of both cultures and with areas local to both schools.
The half to be taken back to Ghana was presented to the Abonse headteacher, Janet Lartey, at the school’s summer fayre on Friday.
The fayre included Ghanaian singing and dancing, Maypole dancing and cream tea.
