Black history visitor

Year 3 and 4 loved their visit today from our school governor Agnes. She taught us all about how babies are named after the day of the week they are born on in Ghana. We got to role play the naming ceremony and everyone found out what their name would be based on the day they were born. 


Black History

Today we were visited by our new governor Agnes Fough. She shared with us the special 'Asante naming the child ceremony'

The children learned some of the words for naming babies after the day of the week they were born on. We also practised reading out a script which a privileged person would read out to name a new baby in the Asante culture. 

This was fascinating.

Light experiments

We have continued exploring light this week. We looked at how light reflects off certain objects and we sorted materials into which would be the most effective to reflect light on a book bag. We also looked at how light travels through materials which are transparent, translucent and opaque.
