We appreciate the help given by volunteers who come to Happy House
and Auntie Susan, from the USA, has showed our children many different activities.
One day she worked with KG1 and they had fun making an octopus using
papers and ribbons.

The children really enjoyed the creative work and Auntie Susan has also been helping the baby class to develop their language and communication skills with great results.

In the past week we had a birthday party for day pupil Faida Peterson who is in class 5.
Her family provided a cake, juice etc so that she could enjoy her birthday with her extended family at Happy House and and she was able to give Papa Dave a bite of the cake.

We also analysed children's results referring to their targets set
at the beginning of the term. Most of the children achieved their targets
and the others, who came near, promised to work even harder.
A quiz with science as its topic took place between boys and girls in different classes.

| Auntie Susan and KG1 |
All the children participated fully and girls emerged the winners
with 72 points , with the boys gaining a total of 66 points.
We were delighted by Lucinda who answered her question correctly
with confidence.
House hunting goes on
The search goes on to find Mama and Papa a ground floor or lift accessible flat to rent in Poulton or the Newton Drive area of Blackpool, so they have somewhere to call home when they return to the UK for Mama to undergo urgent treatment on her fractured leg. The properties Elizabeth viewed yesterday were a let down but she does have more to view today.
Thank you to everyone who has helped to spread the word, and to everyone who has offered items of household equipment , furniture and a wheelchair. It is likely that we will need everything bed, wardrobe, dining table and chairs, sofa etc.
If you can help in anyway ,or know someone who can, please email elizabethgomm@childrenofwatamu.net or ring 07905130589.
We are on a very tight schedule as Mama and Papa need to come back to the UK in the next week or so.
