2. Black African House Event By House Captains and Vice House Captains
On Friday, 10th of October we went to different classes in our house colour groups. We were pleased that some parents were able to join us. The theme of the afternoon related to black culture and history. As well as learning about people who tried to make the world a fairer and more equal place we learnt a lot about black culture through creative activities. We really enjoyed the food that parents brought in from their own cultures and a number of classes made their own food. Some children from green house made a pineapple upside down cake, children from red house made shuku shuku coconut balls and everyone had the chance to eat pineapples and bananas. Other activities included singing in Swahili, hair braiding and African artwork in the style of Tinga Tinga. We had a really enjoyable assembly on Tuesday when children shared and celebrated their work.
