Yr 3 Kenya Project Homework - Help!

[eemum]

Hi All, can anyone point me in the right direction for good web sites to source facts about Kenya for my 8yr olds homework?
Have tried a few searches, but coming up with loads of political stuff and info thats way over his head - need something aimed more at kids but drawing a blank!

Thanks in advance.

Could try Somak Holidays website. It is a travel company but am sure they will have some general info about Kenya.

This site may be helpful

Wikipedia is a good starting point en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenya

Is this any good?

Anything in particular you want to know? I might be able to help.

Thanks folks.
Lawks - they are having "Kenya day" a week on Monday and have been asked to find Kenyan songs they can sing. Other than that, it's a general "see what you can find out about Kenya"

Can I help? I am in Nairobi and dd in year 2 has just done a whole term on 'Kenya'

As for songs, we can give you the National Anthem, in English and Swahili. I can also give you some nursery rhymes in swahili?

[Lawks]

This one!! It's what we all sang as kids . Lovely and sweet and easy and a kids song.

Got to go feed a baby now but will have a think.

You are all very kind thank you - Love the Jambo song!

Someone suggested the national geographic kids site which has a feature on kenya - and lots of other stuff I am sure we may need in the future. Am adding to favourites!

Lawks that has brought back memories.... thanks

That's such a cool song!!

You could always teach her to say hello white person in Swahili:

Jambo Mzungu.... (said muh-zun-goo)

Brings back memories of driving in the back of a Toyota truck through Ugandan villages where the kids would scream that at us as we drove past!
