This week we have been learning the story Handa’s Surprise which links to our Africa topic.

The story is about a little girl who takes fruit to her friend in another village. She carries the fruit in a basket on her head!

We set ourselves the challenge of using lots of different types of construction equipment to try and make our own baskets to carry fruit.

There was lots of team work and collaborative learning, and we even helped each other solve some tricky problems! It was lots of fun and a great way to start off our first year as a new class. We are excited for our next challenge!
