African Voices Day
On Thursday 18th November 2017, Class 5 participated in African Voices day. The children got to learn about the different perceptions of Africa and what Africa is like. As a class we got to learn lots of aspects that were really surprising to us all and allowed the children to have opportunity to use some deeper thinking skills. For example, there are more mobile phone users in Africa than in Europe. We also got to learn some Swahili greetings and a song which we thoroughly enjoyed.
The children got to learn some African dances. This showed the children that you can have fun with very little money and resources. It was enjoyable to watch the children learning the different moves! Throughout the day, we got to hear the children’s individual points of view and see them working together in groups to discuss their different opinions.
