After our recent visit from the Singing Children of Africa, we had so many questions about Africa! Our visitors from the choir answered some of them…but many were still to be discovered! So, we have decided to see if we can find the answers to the rest. We are going to embark on an exploration of amazing Africa this term – we can’t wait to delve deeper and begin to answer our questions.

This week, we have enjoyed listening to traditional African folktales about Anansi the Spider. Anansi is a wise spider and we loved hearing the story about how he gathered lots of wisdom in a jar, then spread it around the world to help others!

After the story, we used our shape knowledge and cutting skills to create our very own Anansi spiders. Have a look at our finished work and our use of bright colour and shape – don’t they look fabulous?
