Comparing the UK to villages in rural northern ghana
<p>6 week unit of work covering geography and art objectives for KS1. It is particularly focused on comparing your own local area (in may case a village in Nottinghamshire) with a school and surrounding villages in rural northern Ghana, Africa.<br />
The unit of work is based around a real school that can be found on The King’s Village Ghana website and its connected charity.<br />
If so desired school’s can also sponsor children attending The King’s School in addition to teaching them about the every day life of the children who live there.<br />
This is a great opportunity for children to appreciate what life is like in other parts of the world and to develop an appreciation for the beauty and creativity found in other places.</p>
<p>I have included lesson plans, smart boards, powerpoints etc to make the lessons as comprehensive as possible.<br />
If you have any questions about the resource or any of the activities then please feel free to contact me <a href="mailto:sarahfahy@hotmail.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">sarahfahy@hotmail.co.uk</a> and I would be more than happy to discuss them with you. I can also make visits to local Nottinhamshire schools to talk about my visits to the King’s School in Ghana and show some Ghanaian objects and activities.</p>
