Title: School Life in Africa


1
Created by Helen Weeks, The Tynings School Dick
Bateman, SBL
2
  • This programme was trialled by Helen Weeks and
    Dick Bateman at The Tynings School with Year 5
    pupils.
  • Here are some ideas for how to use it
  • Selected pupils speak the words in the bubbles
  • Pupils say the countries and capitals on slide 5
    and then answer the prompts on slide 6.
  • Use interactively on any slide by asking pupils
    to come out and write nouns on the whiteboard for
    features (building) and adjectives to describe
    the nouns (lovely, brown, scruffy). The class can
    then discuss and rank order, then write up a
    description of the slide.
  • Use slides (sensitively) to compare Nigerian
    places and ways of life with ours.
  • Good luck. Dick Bateman and Helen Weeks

Kano in Nigeria, Africa
This is our country, Nigeria
Kano is in the north of Nigeria, near the Sahara
Desert
Abuja is Nigerias Capital City
Lagos is Nigerias biggest city
8
The City of Kano and its Airport
It is near the desert, so it is very hot and dry
If you came to Kano by air, you would land here
We say Kano as Carno
9
What Kano looks like
Click and drag the labels to their arrows
Old Buildings
Kano From the air
New buildings
10
A very nice part of Kano
This is a garden around the Government Offices in
Kano.
If there is water, plants grow very well because
it is hot
11
What do we do for transport?
Richer people drive cars and ride motor bikes
We have cars, electricity and telephones.
Poorer people carry their own loads.
We wear long, cool gowns to walk in.
12
What are our homes like?
Some homes are old and made of dried, mud, straw
and wood
13
Some people have nice brick and stone-built
homes, like number 25.
14
What jobs do we have?
Most people are farmers or traders. They wear
traditional robes
Some people are teachers, nurses and office
workers. Many of these people like to wear
trousers
15
Like this basket seller
The young men like to be trendy.
16
Lots of people shop in the market.
17
Farmers bring their fruit and vegetables to sell
in Kano
The sun is strong. It is best to wear a hat.
Because it is dry, most shops are in the open
18
A School in Kano
What is the classroom like?
19
There are two main tribes of people in and around
Kano
People from near the Sahara Desert belong to the
Fulani tribe.
Most people in Kano belong to the Hausa tribe.
20
The Hausa girls choir sings Hausa songs in lovely
harmony. The girl in yellow is their leader.
21
These Fulani horsemen are in traditional dress.
This is a festival to salute the Emir
The Emir is the traditional ruler of both the
Hausa people and the Fulani people.
22
We hope you have enjoyed our views of Kano.
Goodbye

  • Ideas for further Innovation
  • Flash for place names
  • Audacity for relevant Nigerian music.
  • Nigerian (teachers from Bristol University MEd
    course ?) to voice over relevant speech bubbles.
  • Link to other activities e.g. websites,
    worksheets.
  • Please add other ideas.
