Gambian rotation day....

Today we have had lots of activities for the children to do.

1. Design a flag using the colours of the Gambian Flag



2. Work together in a group to design an African pattern on a top and some shorts.


Each of the children had roles within the group, they had to make sure that the quality was up to scratch and that they were all being fair!



3. Make an African drum. The children drew patterns on the outside of their drums and decided which material they thought would make the best drum.


4. Looking at artefacts from when Mr. Farrington went to Gambia. The children really enjoyed touching these artefacts and even had a go on some musical instruments.

This artefact is used in Gambia to wash your hands and feet before you go into prayer. Our challenge to everyone at home is to find out its name?
