Hello Hive.
This week has been a busy one for me as I had alot of running around to help my sister graduate preliminary school in grand style.
Aside shopping for fabrics at last weeks market Friday post to sew a graduation dress for her which happened during the course of this week, beautiful highlight of today's post is attending the party that usually has a cultural heritage on display since learning isn't about academics alone.
Pupils and learners are taught both culture, language and traditions in school.
They are taught to speak our various native dialect, how to dress culturally and be a good representatives of their villages and hometowns.
The highlight of every graduation usually has various cultural display, food and all.
Parents troop in to celebrate their children not in the modern way of partying this time around.
My sister has attended a Force school as we now have both force and military primary and secondary schools in the country where learners learn both morals, virtues and standard discipline alongside their academics.
On graduation occasion, we also witness military/force activities like a parade or match pass on display.
These little ones have been taught both the culture and police force activities of the country.
My sister alongside all the other graduating pupils were dressed like mini police officers, we had the Inspector general of police from the state chapter in attendance, we also had the bands and cultural groups on display.
That is my small police woman 😂😂
My dad been an a retired police officer also felt the nostalgia seeing his daughter in a similar uniform he once wore and worked in for 35years.
I tagged them both as the senior and junior police officers 😂😂😀
She graduated as the third overall pupil in her academics with this little award.
Next is a picture with her nephew and niece. They were happy and clinger to her, usually she is their mini mother and play sister
Now her classmates and friends all dressed up in uniforms.
Family, friends and well wishers
Hope you aren't getting bored of these pictures from our colorful event.
Am not sure who we are saluting but you can spot her wood gum in the pics 😀😀.
The event started with opening prayers, speech by the head teacher, Inspector general of police and other outstanding dignitaries, next was the match pass, cultural dance, drama, nursery rhymes and presentation, menu menu and dance, dance dance.
I thought I can make a a 3speak video to show us some of this must watch fun moments but am still short on how to use 3speak.
This has come as a very long post and I hope you didn't get bored reading along with me.
Thank you for stopping by.
