On the 18th of September was when Miss B brought in all the things about her culture. First she taught us about the African myths and legends on how the Afrikaans thought things happened.
Then we got started on our art. The art that we were doing was not normal art but it was rock art, Rock art is what the early south Africans told stories about there hunting trips in very basic detail.
After we finished our art Room 7 joined us to hear a lot of facts about South Africa like different dances, There was Zulu dancing and many others. As in South Africa dancing is a huge part of their culture.
After Room 7 left we went outside to try some south African food, there was 4 different types of food there was my favourite the peppermint caramel crisp tart, the jerky (I didn't really like it that much), there was a rolled jerky (that taste worse than the other jerky) and the final food was a very yummy chocolate biscuit. After the yummy and not so yummy food we learnt about the house situation and what the houses were like.
In some places a lot of people live in shacks. shacks are a very basic house that doesn't have much inside. After we learnt about the shacks we had a go at making our own shack models made out of popsicle sticks and tape. My groups one wasn't very good at the start because it was to big and flimsy. But then we made a smaller one and was stronger.
We also learnt all about the south african clicks. there are three clicks they are X, C and Q
Thanks Miss B for teaching us all about your country.
