“Now, outside row: Stop and sashay,” Shermika Nibbs instructed a group of eight students who were plaiting a pole at Willard Wheatley Primary School. “Now spread out your ribbons, straight around in a circle.”
Ms. Nibbs, a teacher from Ebenezer Thomas Primary, was standing at the side of a tent as the dancers entertained the student body during a Culture Week celebration on Tuesday.
The event — which included music, dance and drama — was one of many activities being held at schools around the territory in celebration of the week, which is themed “A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned: A Cultural Principle for us to Learn.”
The theme is designed to inspire comparisons between today’s economy and the economy of previous generations,Education and Culture Minister Myron Walwyn said during an address on Sunday.
