This evening was our storytelling evening. The children came to school dressed in their pajamas and brought their favourite cuddly toys, pillows and comforters. The evening started with a traditional tale from the Turks and Caicos, told by our Director of Culture, David Bowen. Everyone was mesmorised and captivated by the story of a Salt Raker who’s tale explained why the ocean is salty. The children then went to their classes to enjoy stories with their teachers and we ended the evening with cookies and milk. Everyone enjoyed listening to all the stories and went home to have sweet dreams!  Thank you to everyone who helped make this storytelling evening such a great success. Click below to see some movies of the evening.
