Transported to South Africa

Our language of the term is currently Afrikaans. This morning, Willow focused on learning some key facts about this language and how to speak it. We practised common words like hello, goodbye, good morning and one of my personal favourites (as Willow know very well) please and thank you. After, we learnt how to say numbers and held some simple conversations, asking our partners how they were, how old they were and if they understood what we were saying. 

After, we looked at some of the artwork from South African tribes. We looked at how the women designed and painted their houses. We were particularly amazed that they did not use rulers and that they painted their houses using chicken feathers. Unfortunately, we did not have chicken feathers to replicate this, but the children did have a go at designing their our houses using geometric patterns. 

Willow class challenge:
