AFRICAN culture has come to Worcestershire as children across the county learnt about the music, dance and rhythms of the continent.
In Leigh Sinton, at the First Steps nursery (formerly Bumbles Barn), the children dressed up in traditional costumes and learnt how to play handmade instruments.
The children at Abbey Park First School in Pershore got in on the act too, as they celebrated Africa week.
They learnt the rhythms of the continent with instructor Robert Eugine.
Meanwhile, at Blessed Edward Oldcorne Catholic College in Worcester, pupils delved into the world of popular characters from traditional stories.
They learnt and performed the lively traditional Samau Saryen dance from Mali.
Headteacher Sean Devlin said an understanding and appreciation of other cultural forms of art helped in enjoying different cultural entertainment.
From next September, the college will have a department of creative arts and a department of performing arts.
