The Grove celebrated World Afro Day today. Parents came in to share how they take care of their children’s hair – showing tools and products. Our staff talked about their hair too. One of our team, whose child attends our setting, showed the chn how she styles her daughter’s hair after wash day.
The chn explored different brushes and combs for maintaining and styling Afro hair. We looked at beautiful books about hair. We learnt names of different hair styles, including ‘Chiney Bumps’ that one of our team had when she was a girl in Jamaica. And we looked at different hairstyles people have.
We encouraged our school community – parents, staff, co-workers – to register to take part in World Afro Day’s ambition to hold the largest global online learning event. We will watch the inspiring video about the cultural significance of Afro hair and take the quiz 💜 www.worldafroday.com
