Lower Primary classes going fishing!

Our Lower primary classes (age 5-8) love dressing up and using props in their lessons. Each week we have a different theme and the use of props prepares them for their end of year productions. Fun was had by all in their improvisation "The Fishing Trip". Many brought home made fishing rods and even plastic or paper fish to complete the picture. The impovisations are designed to improve self confidence and communication skills by encouraging verbal and physical interaction.
