01 Nov 2013

The DEC has made Island of Culture the theme for the school year 2013/2014. As part of this, Michael School held a week dedicated to all things Manx and cultural near the beginning of October. Visits included a piper from EVP&D, Manx Language Development Officer for MHF, Adrian Cain, as well as the MMDT who delivered workshops in Manx music and dance which were showcased at a concert for parents on 10th October.

Children had studied Manx artists Archibald Knox and Nicola Dixon and had listened to Manx storytelling from Sue Woolley and learnt how to bake bonnag with headteacher, Tony Robinson. All in all a fabulous celebration of Manx culture for Island of Culture.
