WOW!!! INCREDIBLE!!! AMAZING!!!! OUTSTANDING!!!
Roman Road has just had the MOST amazing day today. This was a day that we will never forget and will remember even when we are old and wrinkly!
The Lions of Zululand were unbelievable.

Mdu and the Lions arrived early this morning and the hall quickly filled up with children eager to find out why all of the teachers had been so excited! - We were not disappointed.
We heard the singing and the a drum beat before the Lions suddenly burst up the stairs with their shields and knobsticks at the ready.
They began singing, dancing, entertaining and making us laugh for the next 45 minutes. Words and pictures cannot describe the amazing vibe in our school hall. We were left speechless and eager to work with the Lions of Zululand.
Throughout the day we all had the opportunity to learn how to sing and dance like the Zulus. Many of us also had the opportunity to learn about their culture and to draw some of their costumes, shields and spears. The teachers also got the opportunity to purchase African jewellery.
The day came to an end with the whole school showing what they had learned for the whole school. Even the staff demonstrated the dance we had all been taught. What a cheer they got.
Many, many thanks to Mdu and the Lions of Zululand you truly are AMAZING!
