Afternoon movie

Mataha,

After weeks of hard work, a Bugs Life movie was a great way to help the kids relax their minds. At first it was silent in the board room, as the children were fully engrossed in the film. Later we could see the children frowning, beaming, and laughing. It truly is a great movie. They loved the journey inside the miniature world of a bugs life, filled with fun and adventure. The volunteers asked questions as the movie progressed to help improve the comprehension for some of the younger children. It was also great for the children to be able to see the words on the television as well as hearing them.

Reading a book

Mataha,

Once again it is a Friday and this time around we reading a book by Dr Seuss. Its a beginner reading book, exacting blends of words and picture that encourage children to read all by themself.

Reading is an important skill that need to be develop in children. If children can read well and if they see reading as a source of information, for the rest of their live they will have access to all the knowledge and great ideas. Let the pictures do the talking . Hope you enjoy!
