Waldegrave School Autumn Magazine 2023

Drop Down Day offered a chance for our Year 8 students to embrace new horizons and let their creativity shine. On this unique day, the spotlight turned to the rich and vibrant traditions of Sub-Saharan Africa, encompassing music, dance, art, and drama. The students dived head first into a day brimming with

cultural exploration, an immersion into the rhythms and colours of Africa. The day’s itinerary was a celebration of diversity, with workshops that included the soul stirring beats of African drumming, the infectious energy of Afrobeats Dance, the intricate art of jewellery making and the mesmerising world of African drama. This Drop Down Day was a symphony of learning, discovery and self-expression. As the students danced to the rhythm of the drums, crafted their own jewellery, painted with vibrant colours and engaged in captivating drama performances, they found a profound connection with the traditions of Sub-Saharan Africa. The day was a reminder that education is not confined to textbooks but comes to life for experiences, creativity and the celebration of diverse cultures.
