Last week we had a special visitor from Kenya. Her name was Mara Menzies and she visited as part of Black history month to tell us some stories from her own culture.
It was a very dramatic presentation and she involved everyone in her stories. She had bright, colourful costumes for everyone to wear and she showed us the different ways to put them on.
She selected people from the audience to act out parts in her stories and even had one pupil 'flying' on her back!
You can see from the slideshow below how much we all enjoyed her presentation.
She brought some things to show us too. Some were made out of dried gourds and there was jewellery with intricate and colourful beadwork.
It has given us some ideas for story telling next term when we look at Scottish and Orcadian folk tales! I wonder if we can present a story as entertaining as hers!
