This week, we have done some learning to help us prepare for this. First, the children learnt all about the 7 continents with Mrs Gray and had a go at rebuilding a chopped up map. They enjoyed using an Atlas to help them to label each place.
We found Africa on our maps and discovered that Malawi is a country on this continent. We looked at a patterned fabric, called a 'chitenge', which is worn by many African women in Malawi. We talked about the prints and colours before working together to create our own chitenge sheet. We each contributed some small prints to create this...isn't it beautiful?!
Here are the team at work...
Then we danced to the music from Malawi that we had on in the background because it was funky and...well, why not?! Have a smashing weekend!
