We planned our topic together and the children had some great ideas!
We used the book 'Mama Panya's Pancakes to discover more about village life in Kenya. The children have created this wonderful display.
Food and Water in a poor African village
We teach Year 1 that not everyone in Africa lives in a mud hut in poverty! However we encourage them to be thankful for what they have. Some children in poor areas only have one meal of nshima a day. Some do not have access to clean water. Mama and Papa Panya went on a 'water walk' and after we had travelled for 'miles' and found that three wells were dry, we eventually found water!
