We asked Mathias about houses and homes. Click below to hear his reply.

Miss Beveridge bought these artefacts when she visited Malawi.

We looked at pictures of African art and then worked in four groups to see what we could create. We decided who would be in each group and then worked together for an afternoon with Andrew Crummy. We hope that you like our work. It will be displayed in Ross High on 11th and 12th June when all of the primary schools in the Ross High cluster will meet each other and the staff.

We were very lucky to have Mathias Hauya in our class yesterday. He answered lots of questions that we had prepared as part of our project about Malawi. He spent most of the morning helping us to produce a podcast and then answered questions from the younger children in the school. We intend to link with a school in Malawi and Mathias has kindly offered to help us to do this.

Look out for our next instalment.

Miss Beveridge has been to Malawi and she shared some artefacts with us.

Miss Beveridge brought this replica of a chief’s chair back from Malawi.

We had great fun on Friday when we experienced African drumming with Daniel Duggan.  We also met the P7 children from Elphinstone Primary and spent breaktime with them.  This visit formed part of our global awareness project about Malawi.  We are looking forward to our African art session.  We will produce a display about Malawi in Ross High before our two-day visit later this term.  We are looking forward to meeting our new friends from Elphinstone Primary again.    african-drumming.mov Please leave a comment. Click on Daniel’s name to visit his website and find out more about African drumming.
