'Handa's Surprise' has been our key text this week and we have been learning more about the animals in the story and about Africa. We loved looking at the beautiful jewellery that people make and wear and decided to make our own, using examples of patterned African clothing as inspiration. We also had a go at carrying fruit in a basket on our head, just like Akeyo and Handa do in the story! We tasted all of the fruits from the story too! We tried banana, mango, passion fruit, avocado, guava, pineapple and orange. We completed a taste test tick sheet to record which ones we liked and disliked and discussed with our friends why we felt that way. Some very funny faces were pulled as we tried the 'sour' passion fruit and the 'slimy' avocado!
