Key Stage 2 had a fantastic day on Tuesday learning all about the diversity of Africa. Our guides through the continent were Magda and Simon. They are both postgraduate students from Leeds University. Through a range of activities and games our visitors showed us what life in Africa is really like. We learnt that there are huge cities with skyscrapers and traffic jams!
During the morning our workshops took place in the classrooms. After lunch we headed outside to enjoy the sunshine. Simon taught us some of the games that children play in Africa. 
Simon had made us a ball using old carrier bags, we were amazed how strong it was! It was great fun to play with too!
Magda and Simon had worked very hard to prepare the activities. Here we are comparing a range of maps to find the mystery country.
Our visitors shared with us stories about their life back home. Magda told us about the new government in Egypt. Simon showed us a slideshow including pictures of his university in Zambia.
The class loved the game that Magda taught us - it was tricky at first, but we got the hang of it!
Class 3 and 4 had a fantastic day - and we learnt so much! A big thank you to Simon and Magda for working so hard, we hope you'll come back and see us soon.
