One of the most engaging things with the teachers we were interacting with over the last few weeks, were the poems and chants that are so powerful for encouraging language. On our way to the last day in Maseno I made up this chant and Nancy added pictures. A pikipiki is a motorbike:
and they do carry all the things mentioned and more
PIKI PIKI
One pikipiki rolling down the road,
Two pikipiki losing half his load;
Three pikipiki taking kids to school,
Four pikipiki do not know the rule!
Five pikipiki, chickens on the back,
Six pikipiki bouncing down the track;
Seven pikipiki, three girls on the seat,
Eight pikipiki driving in the heat.
Pikipiki on the left .........
Pikipiki on the right .......
I love my pikipiki -
We are such a sight!
