Nabwigulu is located in Eastern Uganda. We are 1500 students in our school, ranging in age from 6 years old (Primary One) to 13 years old (Primary Seven).
The language we speak in our village is Lusoga, but we speak English at school.
We study subjects like math, social studies, local language, and science. At the end of Primary Seven, we write a national exam. If we pass, that means that we can continue on to high school.
Our classes are very big--our biggest class has 170 children! We also wear blue uniforms to school
We also do a lot of activities at our school. For example, Wednesday afternoon is Arts and Crafts. The girls learn to weave baskets and mats, and the boys make brooms and carve stirring spoons. Both boys and girls learn to braid ropes. We have been helping Teacher Amanda learn to make a mat from banana fibres!
We are so excited to have friends in Canada and we are looking forward to learning about what your lives are like.
We have written letters and coloured pictures telling you about what it is like in our village of Nabwigulu. You can see a picture of some of us below with Teacher Amanda! Here we are working on our letters to Canada.
