🌍✨ Year 2’s Geography learning on “Where would you prefer to live – Kenya or England?” came to life through an exciting Global Learning Session!
Our pupils had the wonderful opportunity to connect with students from Nelson Primary School in the UK and St Joseph Combined Academy in Kenya. This special session celebrated global learning, cultural exchange, and the chance to learn from one another.
Year 2 were thrilled to meet Kenyan pupils and had prepared thoughtful questions about school life, education, and everyday experiences in Kenya. The children at St Joseph were eager to answer our questions and even had some of their own for us!
Some fascinating things we learned included:
⚽ At break and lunchtime, pupils enjoy skipping, hula hoops, singing, hand games, and footballs made from recycled materials such as old clothes, carrier bags, socks, and string.
⏰ Their school day begins at 7:00am and finishes at 4:00pm, with opportunities to attend after-school clubs.
🍽️ Their lunch menu includes dishes such as githeri, rice and beans, meat with kale and ugali, and boiled beans with maize – sometimes followed by delicious mango for dessert!
This inspiring experience helped our children develop a deeper understanding of life in Kenya while building connections with pupils across the world. 🌎💙
