INTEGRATION OF THEMES
Learners can be made aware of different cultures/different people have different ways of celebrating e.g. birthdays. They must learn to accept these differences.
Educators Page
1. Learners bring old birthday cards to school to discuss and analyse.
- How are they made? How are they folded? Shape?
- What makes them attractive? Pictures? Colours?
- What does the card say?
- Why are there open spaces?
2. Learners will make a rough sketch to design their own cards. They can decide:
- What to draw.
- What message they will send.
- How they are going to write their messages. (They can ask the teacher to write them lightly and they can print over the letters or make any other plans they can think of)
- What they will need. (Make a list of drawings of tools needed.) They collect and bring these.
3. They make their cards.
4. They show it to the class. Positive comments are encouraged when learners consider their friends’ cards and maybe suggest improvements. Much praise is needed to encourage learners.
5. Display cards in the room.

At last it is time for Willy’s party. He can’t wait for his friends to arrive. Mummy Wop has baked the most delicious cakes and Sam and Terry have picked a basket of berries to make berry juice. Now they are all sitting on the picnic blanket waiting for their friends.
Do you still remember that the Wops don’t give each other birthday presents? They each bring Willy a wish, which they write on a piece of paper. These wishes Willy will put under his pillow. The Wops believe that these wishes will come true.
The first one to arrive is Licky. Willy loves him very much and he is pleased to see him. Licky gives Willy his wish. His wish is that Willy will find a red river stone every day. Willy is delighted!
Walter the warthog arrives next. He was busy in the forest helping the swallows to collect sticks for their nests and he thought he was going to be late for the party. He rushed along so fast that he charged into Willy who went rolling over and over. Walter’s wish was that Willy would never again fall off his scooter. Willy has had many falls and that is why he is very pleased with this wish.
