You
may remember that the 'Eye on' section of
Global Eye Primary, Spring 2001 looked at
life in The Gambia, a small country in West
Africa. You can go back to these pages by
clicking here. |
| In April 2001,
Year 6 pupils of Hangleton Junior School,
Sussex were lucky enough to have a visitor
from The Gambia called Edward Kamara. Edward
is a teacher in The Gambia, and the pupils
found out lots of interesting things about
his home country. Let's hear what they had
to say about Edward's visit. |

Lyndsey
said
"Edward told us lots of useful things
about The Gambia. You might think that
The Gambia has nothing in common with
the UK. But The Gambia has music and nightclubs.
Most of the music is rap. They enjoy it
a lot. Edward likes it too."

Edward brought us some groundnut seeds.
Since then, we have been growing groundnuts
in our classroom!
Elizabeth and Claire said,
"In
The Gambia, they don't eat as much food
as we do. The main food they eat is rice
and groundnuts".

Ryan
and Joe said,
"In schools in The Gambia there are an
amazing amount of children in classrooms,
about 76 per class. In England we only
have about 30 children in each class and
one teacher. In Gambian schools, they
have musical productions like our school".

Savina
and Hannah said,
"When Edward came to visit us he answered a
lot of our questions. The picture above on the
right hand side shows Edward telling us how
they use a teapot in The Gambia. On the left
hand side you can see a picture of Edward in
the computer suite. We were showing him some
of the work we have been doing this term".
Lyndsey
said,
"The
Gambia is a very hot country. During July and
September it is the rainy season. So it is very
weird for Edward to come over and see rain in
England. The last rain he saw was around September
2000".
Elizabeth
and Clare said,
"At the end of the day, we were very glad that
we had a chance to speak to Edward and we hope
he enjoyed his stay in England".
