Body parts are discussed and educators can assess the learners’ auditory perception, spatial orientation and sequencing skills.
Learners read and illustrate the sentences, poems and rhymes and are taught the writing patterns and the corresponding letters viz. v , w , n , and m .
These sounds are also taught.
The Wops family live in the forest, have no amenities like electricity and spacious homes.
They live a life dependant on nature; fruit and berries, etc. They therefore look after their habitat. We should follow their example and care for our environment.
Although the Wops have no earthly riches they are warm, friendly and helpful. People do not have to be rich to gain our friendship. Be sensitive towards people who have different cultures and who lead different kinds of lives.
Everyone has the right to have shelter and food. Children should be cared for by their parents.
Educator questions the learners.

Problem-solving group work
Finding solutions
Reporting back to the class
1) what their biggest problem was that they identified, and
2) what solutions (plans) they came up with.
The Wops live in tree houses in the forest. These houses are sheltered by the leaves and are hardly visible. You have to look very carefully if you want to see them. When you go for a walk in the forest on a summer's day and look up into the tree-tops, you might think you see a bird's nest. But if you look closely, you will see smoke coming from a chimney and also tiny footprints on the ground under the tree.
Willy and his family live in a pretty little house. Daddy Wop built it himself. He used a saw to cut several long planks, and he nailed them together. Walter the friendly warthog helped Daddy to drag the planks through the forest to their tree. Willy likes to ride on Walter. He sits between his horns and then Walter takes him on long rides through the forest.
You have to walk a long way to get to Willy's house in the tree. First you must cross a deep, deep river. (The Wops built a raft, which they have hidden in a place other people don’t know about.) Then you must walk along a narrow path up a high, high hill. On the other side of the hill a winding trail leads down into the forest. In the forest you will find a tall, tall tree. Willy's tree house is in that tall, tall tree but you have to climb up a long, long rope ladder.
Willy loves the tree house and at night, as he lies in his snug little bed, he listens to the wind whistling through the leaves, the water flowing over the pebbles in the river and the wise old owl hooting up in the tree. Next time I'll tell you more about the wise old owl.
