Handa

Lesson: Understanding the World

This week Nursery have been reading the story Handa's surprise by Eileen Browne. We have talked about the animals in the story and other animals that live in Africa. We have used books, the internet and a world globe to find the answers to some of our questions.
 We have danced to African music and the children were challenged to carry baskets containing fruit on their heads, just like Handa in the story. 
The children have looked closely at the fruit in the story ,discussing their likes and dislikes.
 In our creative area we have talked about the patterns, textures and colours of fruit and have been learning to shade using coloured pastels.
