Heavy Rains and Maintenance work

at Seaside School.

Thanks to the heavy rain we had in Port Vila recently it did a fantastic job on the 

Library roof removing all the leaves and growth in the gutters. 

                                      Inside the students are working really hard on their lessons

Great progress is been made with learning  their Time Tables. 

The Maintenance Team,  and a great plan.

Armed with a hammer, string, pins and a stapler  

This week  Gloria and the team,  decided to make Reading stations in 

Classes 2,3,4,5,6, with the Joy Cowley Sunshine Books, and Journals 

donated from the Renwick Church in Blenheim.

Students can now read books at the right levels for their age groups and progress in class.

  This will help them in developing the Reading skills and English lessons they attend at the Library.

Excited and happy to read these books,  and help each other. 

Some fun games outside
