This week F2 have shared the book A is for Africa. We have talked about the things that we could see that were the same and different. We have also learnt that life in the city might be diffferent to life in a village.
The children dressed up in African clothes and some of them tried to carry a doll on their backs pretending it was a baby. We looked at different African fabrics comparing them to our clothes. We loved the colours and patterns.
We made African jewellery which we have enjoyed wearing all week.
On Friday, Mrs Axelby came to talk to us about her work with Compassion and her visit to Africa. We learnt about food, toys, clothes, school and toilets. The children were very interested in finding out about the toys and the toilets!
Next week we will be learning more about life in Africa and exploring African music. It is the drumming workshop on Tuesday and open session on Wednesday.
