On Friday 14th March P7/6 hosted a special Africa Day for all the classes in the school and the parents. We had worked very hard in the weeks running up to this and had produced traditional folk tales, poems on African life, African themed artwork, factfiles, Powerpoint presentations and learned an African dance and 2 African songs. Mrs Gardner had set up an African tent in the hall to display all our hard work. On the day we all had our face painted then each class was invited to see our performance of the dance and the songs. Then they were taken into the tent to enjoy some of our African folk tales. Each class when then given time to look around the tent at all the work we had produced. At 11am, parents and relatives came in to see the performance, listen to the stories and poems and view the Powerpoint presentations. They also had the opportunity to enjoy Fairtrade tea, coffee and biscuits. Over the day we performed 8 times and were really tired by the end of it but we really had fun. We received some really positive feedback from children, parents and teachers in our comment book.
We collected donations from everyone who visited the tent and made £118 for Mary’s Meals.
Well done to everyone, you should be very, very proud of yourselves! The day was a huge success.
