Summer Term

We will be studying the country of Kenya within the context of Africa and comparing our culture to that of the Massai tribe. We will be understanding how to use an atlas to locate and explore the key features of Kenya, as well as looking at the amazing animals that live out there. We will be creating Savannah sculptures in art and exploring plants and habitats in science. Our music learning will also link to Africa, particularly African drumming styles.
