African Kindy


We went to the Early Childhood Development Centre (EDC) and played with the kids. It is like an African kindergarten and the kids looked so cute. I could hear them chattering in Shona, but I couldn’t understand them. Edie was adorable, and when we went in he yelled “Marungu, Marungu!” then “Guitari! Guitari!”. Suddenly, all the kids came up and patted the guitar. After that we played on the equipment and sang ‘Hop little bunnies’, ‘Old Macdonald’ and ‘Zoo’. When we sang ‘Hop little bunnies’ they hopped so hard that all the dust in the carpet was stirred up and it was hard to see without getting something in your eye. You can see the children being 'bunnies' in the picture (see if you can spot Bridie and I!). We are going to the EDC every Thursday and I can’t wait to go again.

  1. Aww that looks fun!! I think I've spotted a blond someone in pink down the front...but I don't know who it is! Is hot? I see some kids wearing pants so maybe it isn't?
    I think mum wants to know if there are any cute babies and if you can bring some home.... :)
    Keep safe guys and stay out of trouble (*cough cough* Abbey,Clare &Bridie...)
