Which is the real Uganda?
Year 6 have been looking at pictorial evidence to gain a sense of what Uganda is like. Mr Stanley divided each class into two teams and gave each team twenty photos. The team had to write down everything they could see in the photo, give it a title and then write a paragraph stating what they had learned from that photo.
Once the team had finished, they had to write a brief summary explaining what sort of country they thought Uganda was. As you can see below, the answers varied dramatically between each team as Mr Stanley had given 20 rural photos to one team and 20 urban photos to the other.
The answer to the question is that Uganda is both an urban and a rural country with extremely diverse habitats.
Uganda week in Year 3
Ash class began their work this week on ‘Changing communities’ beginning with creating their own communities and justifying why these places are needed. They were very inventive! We then looked at maps of Kampala and Kafuro and identified which jobs people might have, based on the land. We are very excited for Mr Thembo to come and visit!
Semuliki National Park visit
Greetings to all of our friends in Kafuro and the other twinned schools in Uganda. In August, Mr Stanley visited Semuliki National Park, north of Fort Portal. He cooked boiled eggs in one of the hot springs. We would like to ask all of our friends in Uganda how a hot spring works. Can you explain this to a UK pupil? Please reply when you have an explanation.
It’s cold at Liss update
Last night and this morning snow fell in Liss so today the school is closed. As the photos show, the temperature is even colder (-4°C) and there is a good covering of snow on the ground.
It’s cold in Liss
Warm greetings to all our friends in Uganda. Here in the UK, we have been experiencing a very cold spell of weather with heavy snowfall all over the country. It is unsual for it to be so cold at the end of February/beginning of March, but the prevailing winds are coming from the east and bringing cold weather from Russia. The snow hasn’t really affected Hampshire…….yet! Snowfall is forecast for our area tomorrow (Thursday) and Friday. I will look to post photos of the snow should it occur.
I have shown a photo of our weather station console which shows that the temperature in Liss was -2.6 Celcius at lunchtime. I’m sure Steve Peach, Jan Allnut and all the rangers, teachers and children are experiencing far warmer temperatures in Uganda
