Finally after our mid-year break from school we are back in the swing and getting on with our Virtual Voyage… Our passports are ready and good to go…
And we are off to Africa…
We started by puzzling and playing this fun map game online.
And then we went a searching:
- We found some good resources on the internet:
- And read a heap of Africa picture books, these were our favorites:
- And we looked at a bunch of books about Africa this is our best, packed with facts and full of things to do:
- We tried some really good recipes:
- We examined some wonderful artifacts (Thanks Jack for the great photographs!!!):
And we went on a mad dash search around the house looking for products from Africa:
- We went looking for crafts:
- Loved the Kente Cloth from KinderArt.
- And found these cool printable on the keyhole garden website:
Build a Farmyard Fun! and their kids site has great stuff! - Se7en Create Bead and Wire Flowers.
- Ndebele Hats from Se7en.
- Woven Camouflage Beasts on Safari.
- Madiba Shirts.
- And here some online fun goodies:
Everyone has decided exactly where to go and our tickets are ready:
We’ll see you next week when we get back… and tell you all about our trip.
Oh man I wish I went to school in your house!
Hi T, You would have to do a lot of math to get to the fun stuff!!! Hope you are all having a great weekend!

Hi T, We got ours as a gift. and you will see more of them, we just couldn’t get hold of one continent in the series… needless to say I have no idea where they came from but it could have been the local “kilo shop” or “paperweight.” Sorry I couldn’t have been more helpful!!! Have a great week!
I’m with Tammy— What a beautiful and amazing school you kiddos have!!!!!!!!
Hi K-M, Hay you stopped by!!! I am glad you like the look of our school… now if I could just get everybody out of bed and chomping at the bit with eagerness… It is cold and wet and rainy. I grant them that. It looks like another week of school under the covers! I can not believe what you guys ate for dinner!!! But I can believe your little guy laughing to bust a gut!!! Have a good week!!!
The kids must have a lot of fun. You have really wonderful ideas.I’m inspired :).
