This week Primary 2 have been very busy! We were lucky enough to visit the library for a talk about Malawi, have a talk about Mrs Renshaw’s trip to Malawi and began to sort all of the items for our Malawi Appeal.<\/p>\n

Primary 2 want to share what they have learned:<\/p>\n

Lara – the water in lake Malawi is dirty and if you swam in it it could make you ill.<\/p>\n

Liam – Moni means hello in Chichewa.<\/p>\n

Flynn – Bambo means father in Chichewa.<\/p>\n

Catherine – Mayi means mother in Chichewa.<\/p>\n

Leon – The weather is boiling hot!<\/p>\n

Mya – There is a big mountain.<\/p>\n

Thomas – People live until they are around 55 in Malawi.<\/p>\n

Safaa – The ladies wear a Chitenji which is a nice dress.<\/p>\n

Lucas Curran – The people are poor but they are very happy.<\/p>\n

Lucia – The school in Malawi doesn’t have much stuff but they will get some stuff from our Malawi Wee Bag Appeal.<\/p>\n
