International Colour Day Celebration
March 21, 2022

St. Teresa’s RCP School, Irlam
Manchester, UK

In 2021-22, all of the teachers at St. Teresa RCP elementary school in Manchester, UK participated in the first two series of 21st Century Colour Literacy workshops.

The three sessions of the Eye Opener Series took place in spring 2021, and the four sessions of the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) Series were split between the fall 2021 and spring 2022.

Each two hour session was conducted virtually during staff meetings after school. The format for each session with the teachers included short presentations accompanied by hands-on activities.

Following the final STEAM session in February 2022, the teachers voted to celebrate International Colour Day school wide by exploring colour “Beyond the Rainbow” in each of the classrooms on March 21, 2022.

Credit for coordinating the event goes to CLP partner school liaison, Colette Harrison, and headmistress Sandra Burgess.

A special thanks to all the inspiring teachers and enthusiastic students who made the first school wide International Colour Day celebration a huge success!
