All about Africa!

This week we have been exploring the continent of Africa. In dance, we learnt a traditional African dance and used the djembe to copy different rhythms.
We created African inspired necklaces out of paper plates. We decorated them with patterns, using shapes of coloured paper.
On Wednesday, we looked at chocolate and where it comes from. We designed our own chocolate bar wrappers, carried out a science experiment to see what happens to chocolate when it gets hot and sampled three different types of chocolate; dark, milk and white.
In maths, we have been exploring shapes and patterns. Some of us used plastic shapes to create different patterns and shapes with them.
Also, we have welcomed two new members to our class. Meet Bread and Butter, giant African snails! We are looking after them for a while which is really exciting. We helped Mrs Oddy to create the habitat so they will be happy in our care! Some members of the class even held them ...
The weather has been good to us again this week! I hope the rain stays away for you this weekend ...
