The foods, dancing and cultures of several contrasting cultures were sampled by youngsters at a multi-cultural day.

Each pupil at Poplars Farm Primary School in Bradford, including Paminder Kaur, 14, Joanna Wooley, eight, and Bilal Hassen, seven, pictured, took part in the special event.

The day celebrated the cultures of Yorkshire, India, Pakistan, China, Arabia, and the West Indies.

There are pupils from each place at the school, in Kings Road.

A Sikh storyteller visited the school along with representatives from Kala Sangam, the South Asian arts organisation.

Anne Green, a learning mentor, said: "This is a whole-school initiative which aims to build bridges. Each classroom is being done out to represent a different culture.

"It's the first time we've done it and we wanted to bring everyone together."
