Welcome back!
This week we are learning about a country in Africa called Kenya using the book 'Handa's Surprise',
We are using the story structure to write captions and retell parts of the story and notice that there are different fruits they grow and animals that live wild in this country.
Next week we will look more into the Urban Kenya and the cities, mountains and beaches.
What is similar and what is different between our country and Kenya?
We also tried the fruits from the book and made a chart to find out the classes favourite!
What a wonderful week!
Thank you for all your support at home.
6 weeks to go!
