Handa's Suprise - Grade R multi skill task
Handa's Surprise is a book about a Kenyan girl (Handa) who visits her friend with a basket full of seven different fruits as presents. Along the way to Akeyo's village, Handa contemplates which fruit Akeyo will like the best. However, each time Handa thinks about a certain fruit an animal pops along and takes that particular fruit. This story covers many different skills – listening, sequencing, ordinal numbers, matching objects, biggest to smallest. The girls loved using a pencil to plan and draw Handa’s face and a basket filled with the different fruit on her head. They then coloured the picture in using pastels.
