Nelson Mandela - Looking at evidence

Year five, six and Rosie, who is in year 4 are learning about Nelson Mandela. In this picture we have written about his childhood. We prepared some questions about what we wanted to know about his early life and then we read different recounts about his life. We found out that some information sources are wrong for example in two papers his mother's name was different.
