This week in Reception we have been exploring the story, ‘Handa’s Surprise’. The children really enjoyed doing some observational drawings and paintings of the fruit featured in the story, looking closely at the size, texture, shape and colour of each fruit.
The children then learnt how to weave, using strips of paper and a cardboard frame to weave baskets for their painted fruit.
We located Africa on our class globe and used non-fiction texts and video clips to find out more about life in an African village.
