Twenty-six students from Khalid bin Al Waleed Independent Preparatory School for Boys turned out for part two of International Day Nigeria held today at SFS-Qatar.
The boys took part in a full day of activities highlighting the history and traditions of Africa’s largest country, Nigeria. Curriculum featured lessons on the geography of Nigeria, the Naira currency, as well as the language of the Yoruba people, one of the three main tribes of Nigeria. Hands-on exploration of the region continued with a trivia game and creative writing exercises, putting the students’ newfound knowledge of Nigeria to use.
Lunch, provided by Catering with Gill, allowed the students to sample a variety of Nigeria’s traditional bean and meat dishes, topped off puff-puffs – African powdered donuts – for dessert.
With full stomachs, the students ended the day by painting and decorating their own African masks.
“I enjoyed talking with the students. They were very eager to learn about the history, traditions, and cultures of Nigeria. We had a great time together,” said SFS-Qatar staff Wumi Akinade.
