For our topic lessons we learned about the history of the Kingdom of Benin. We learned about the Ekasa ceremony where decorative banners as made as part of the festivities which also include feasts, music and cerebrations.

As part of our Benin topic we are creating our own Ekasa banners and held our own Ekasa ceremony with drummers and a procession. Our Oba then chose his Ekasa based on their dancing and their banners. Being chosen as Ekasa is a great honour!
