African sunsets

We have a new focus story! It's Handa's Surprise; a story set in Africa. We have been looking at the village where the main character lives and comparing it to Kexborough - they are very different from one another. We have been learning to create African sunset pictures by rolling and rubbing crayons across the paper instead of using in a pincer grip. We added silhouettes.
​We have also been looking at some familiar places to us in Kexborough, such as the chemist, the shop, the school, the fish and chip shop etc. We talked about these places and drew maps.
