Homework Project - for this term, your homework project is to research a specific animal of your choice and create a fact file on them. We would like you to pick your animal today and begin your research. Some of the things that you can find out are: what group of animals they belong to; what their habitats are like and what they like to eat. Remember to get creative; your fact file can be presented in any way that you choose. For example: a poster, a collage, a model, google slides or a booklet.

Tuesday’s History 4000 – 2000 BCE The forest site of Benin Kingdom is occupied by Edo people.

1480 – 1600 CE Portuguese and Dutch traders visit Benin and strike up a trade deals. Oba expand their power and empire through controlling trade in black pepper, palm oil, animal skins ivory and slaves.

1896 – 7 The Oba suspects that the British want to take over his territory, so he shuts them out. A British force invades, raids and loots Benin. British colonial rule begins. The British burn Benin city.

800 – 1255 CE Trade expands within west Africa and beyond. Goods come across the Sahara from as far as the Mediterranean. Brass, ivory, cloth, beadwork and other fine crafts develop.

1255 CE The Uzama becomes too quarrelsome. Oba Ewedo takes over from the Ogiso kings and curbs the Uzama’s power. The title, Oba, replaces Ogiso.

800 – 900 CE It is thought that the first Ogiso king, Ogiso Igodo, rules over all Edo Villages. The kingdom is called Igodomigodo and the Ogiso rules with the advice of the Uzama.

1255 – 1400 CE The Kingdom of Benin expands outside the city. It becomes powerful and conquers many lands.

500 – 800 CE The Edo practise successful agriculture and trade. Villages grow and are led by a chief who is the oldest man in the village.

1600 – 1800 CE Benin city declines slowly as other states around it grow stronger.

Today, Benin lies in Edo State, Nigeria. Its people still keep many ancient traditions, including an Oba in his place.
