Supa Modo

September 12, 2019 Ms Scanlan 1 Comment

On Wednesday 4th September, Primary 7 went to Mareel. We went to see the Supa Modo, which had been brought to Shetland for Screen Play.

It is a Kenyan film about a girl called Jo. Obsessed with Jackie Chan and action films, nine-year-old Jo dreams of being a superhero, but time is not on her side. When the doctors reveal that she is terminally ill, Jo leaves the hospital and returns home to be with her mum and sister. While her mum insists that she stay inside and rest, her sister has different plans. With the entire village’s support, they decide to make dreams a reality and turn Jo into the superhero they know she is.

We really enjoyed the film and afterwards had a chance to make our own superhero masks.

Isaiah thought it was a really good film, it was really good the way everyone helped her in the film and all the village froze.

Becca said it was really different and it showed us how some people in Kenya live.

Thank you to Milly and Martin, who came with us to Mareel.

During the October holidays Ms Scanlan received an email from Lomayana school, full of wonderful messages and pictures for the class. It is always lovely to see the beautiful designs and drawings that they send and it’s great to hear back from them all and see how they are getting on.

Here is a photo of the class with their messages.

It was great to get our emails from Olenguruone this week and we have been busy putting together our replies and making little gifts for our friends. Ms Scanlan is going to post them this weekend and hopefully they will arrive in Kenya soon.

Primary 6/7 Class Assembly

November 9, 2016 Ms Scanlan 2 Comments

Primary 6/7 have worked hard in the last couple of weeks to produce an interesting and informative assembly about all the things that they were doing last term. They spoke very clearly and had made excellent ppts, posters and other props. The audience really enjoyed it, especially when Mary Berry’s wig fell off!!!

Maasai Village Meeting

October 4, 2016 Ms Scanlan Leave a comment

We have been finding out about the Maasai people and the impact of tourism in their region. We had a village meeting and everyone had to play a role. There were village elders, park rangers, hotel workers, young maasai, shopkeepers and ecolodge owners. We found out about the lives of the people and then had a meeting to explain what the problems were. There were some really good presentations and lots of questions too.

Kenyan Climate Studies

In groups, we have been finding out about the climate in different areas of Kenya and we compared this to the climate and landscapes in the UK. We found out about the Western Highlands, The Coast, the Rift Valley and Central Highlands and the Northern Lowlands.

Here are our posters.
