Hello there I have been volunteered by my Music co-ord to take part in an African Art, music and dance project in my LEA involving Foundaition Stage and KS 1 - 4 classes across the LEA. I am to receive twilight sessions on mask making, ceramics, art, african music and dance etc, but i thought that i would be a nice idea to try and make this a mini topic for a half term after xmas and was wondering if anyone out there had done such a topic. Do you know of any good African Stories suitable for a Reception Class? Any activties that could be incorprated in the KUW, PSHE etc aspects. Any help would be fantastic - anything at all? Sarah
