Learning about Tanzania with Miss Kent

What do we already know about Tanzania?

James said,"Tanzania has lots of Tanzania trees."
Lucy-Rose said,"Tanzanian people like to wear lots of colours and beads."
Devon said," I think there are tornadoes in Tanzania."
Summer said,"Tanzanian people have dark skin."
James A said,"It is really hot in Tanzania because the sun is close to their side of the earth."

We found out that...

Gracie found out that the Tanzanian flag is green, yellow, black and blue.
Isla found out that Tanzanian people wear bright colours.
James A found out that Tanzanian people like beading.
Alfie found out that jambo means hello.
James A found out that they speak swahili in Tanzania.



We loved learning about Tanzania with Miss Kent. She told us about her two visits there.
