Primary School, Flintshire
" We had
a very enjoyable day- thankyou. The children have been really enthusiastic
and the workshops provided the perfect stimulus for generating some
'Big Questions' on which to focus their group research."
The journey
presentation - Lots
of interesting facts- helped set the scene very well
Artefacts
- Children really enjoyed workshop, but would have liked
more time to draw and learn about them
African dance
- This is what the children remember the most!
Even our most reluctant boys joined in - must have been good!

children's letters - Yr 3/4
"Thank
you for a wonderful day. I hope you had a good time like all of us.
I enjoyed describing
the tools and musical instruments from Africa."
" Thank
you for teaching us to speak in an African language. I really enjoyed
your African dancing especially when you put a cushion on your bottom!"
" I really
enjoyed learning about the things that they use. I enjoyed learning
about the broom and how they use things differently to us. Africa must
be really hot because we wear jackets and they wear short tops. I loved
when you taught us how to say our numbers in Mandinka. Thankyou. I really
enjoyed it. It was really fun"
" Thank
you so much for coming. I have learnt so much about Africa today. It
was very interesting and I enjoyed it. I think the most interesting
bit was in the hall (the artefacts) and you told us some words and songs
in Mandinka and thankyou for telling us a website. It must be very fun
to go to Janjanbureh and learn about life and how different it is to
ours."
" Thank
you very much for sharing your future with us. I really loved it. It
is nice of you. Africa is a lovely country."
" I really
was interested. I was touched and loved that song and that dance was
funny.
I liked finding what the things were for."
" I had
a brilliant time and I learned a lot about Africa. I wish you could
come again and again but you can't. I enjoyed you being here."
" It was
a pleasure talking to you. Thank you so much for coming in and telling
us how Africans live. I loved the bit where you taught how to say numbers
in Mandinka language. It makes me astonished how quick they learn their
languages."

Primary, Worcestershire. Year 3 half day session
Thank you for
a wonderful afternoon last Friday. The children really enjoyed themselves
and learnt so much from your excellent presentation and artefacts. We
had a discussion later and it was pleasing to note how much information
the children had gained from your visit. They loved the dancing, counting
and singing; I am surprised that so many of them remembered the word
for toes!!!
Today, we had
a look at the wsebsite. They have really enjoyed researching more facts
as they found the website easy to navigate enabling them to find what
they wanted quicickly....... .....
