The session was all about what is living?. And they had same important words like alive,breathe,living,non-living,seed and reproduce. By learning this words , children could know difference between living and non-living.

Afterward, the children reed a story of a child named Lucy who wanted a pet, but the mother would not let her have a pet. The uncle felt pity for her that he give her a pet made out of a rock and it looked like a dog. The children reacted so sad to the story , they wanted Lucy to end up with living pet not a rock.Below there is same pictures. Hope you enjoy.

Happy Feet

Mataha.

After a long weekend of 20th Namibia Independence, embarking the children on an epic journey and ultimately prove that by being true to yourself, you can make all the difference in the world. Children need to be remained of the importance of positive changer toward themselves .

An animation movie was a a brilliant idea. Emperor penguins are born to sing, all except young Mumble ,who was born to dance.....tap dance.Such un-penguin-like behavior eventually get Mumble kicked out of emperor land and into the big cold world.Joined by his Adelies,Amigos and an all knowing rock-hopper penguin Lovelace.

Children enjoy the journey of Mumble. After the movie , all where so determine to make a difference no matter what the cost will be. Below are same of the picture. Hope you enjoy.

Endure Mumble journey.

Getting worried on what will happen next.

Creating a habit of reading

Metaha.

Creating a habit of reading . Reading has been proven to be the best way of communicating, entertaining, and even having fun. When reading is turned into a habit, it is something which will benefit the person for life; the effect is now a positive curiosity and a desire to continue exploring.

As the children gathered for Friday, we divided them according to their grade levels at school. We ended up having 5 groups in total. The rule was simple: one storybook, where each individual will read a page while the others listen and assist when the words become difficult. Let the picture do the explanation better, Hope you enjoy.

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.
