Kanana learners learn about water
Learners were also challenged to identify the ways they could help save water.
With World Water Day and South Africa’s National Water Week celebrated later this month, the Woolworths’ education programme has been rolling out water conservation interactive learner lessons to Grade Five’s across the country.
On March 6 it was Kanana Primary School’s Grade Five learners’ turn as they were taught the importance of water for all life, the scarcity of fresh water in South Africa and threats to our fresh water, such as pollution.
Learners were also challenged to identify the ways they could help save water at home, at school and in their communities.
After the lessons, related worksheets were provided to the teachers so they could continue to reinforce the importance of water and water conservation learning in their classrooms.
All resource material and lesson content is curriculum-aligned and endorsed by the Western Cape Education Department.
Over the past 13 years, the Woolworths educational programme has presented 68 005 water lessons across the country, reaching more than 2.5 million learners and 18 000 teachers in 6 000 primary schools.
