A new rhythm in Peak school
REGGAE rhythms came to a Peak District Primary School as pupils took part in a steel band workshop.
Litton CofE Primary School hosted its annual arts week and kicked off the event with some Caribbean-style music.
Youngsters had a chance to play steel drums as part of the workshop led by Birmingham group Boil Up Tropical.
The week also included mask and costume making, painting and Caribbean-inspired cooking.
Headteacher Bridget Hanley said: "The children really enjoyed it as they all got a chance to play and do something they hadn't done before."
She added: "This year we are aiming to become an international school. Where we live our culture is not terribly diverse.
"Our aim is to get the children to look beyond the boundary of our village and realise children are enjoying themselves all over the world."
