The Junior Primary class are into our 6^th week of the Read, Write Inc program. This program introduces the children at varying levels to the sounds of letters, handwriting, sounding out words and saying them and reading, and writing skills.

In Math’s, we have practiced number familiarity with name, number and amount. We explored patterns including number patterns such as skip counting. We are now working on addition methods.

The class has a lesson working in the garden each week and we planted some Sturt desert peas and kangaroo paws in the arid flower garden.

For a week, the class learnt about Vanuatu, their foods, shelter, climate and ideas of how the islanders could better protect themselves from cyclones and rising sea levels. We visited the world prayer day for Vanuatu held at the CWA, which raises funds to help the people solve these problems.
