School is back!

It’s been an exciting 2 weeks since the school opened. Tension always running high with many kids so excited for school and no room for error in this school term

The first week of the school we took some of the kids out for greening an they were so excited to see the green peppers, chillies and potatoes in the garden because some of them have never worked in the garden before an some kids were really excited to be outside with the coaches such as Logan and Gogo playing games outside with them games such as soccer, basketball and cricket.

Dealing with kids there age is never easy but fortunately for us we’ve got the nack, after every 15 minutes the kids would rotate to the different games. the greening was really a success as we saw some green peppers an chillies grow . we even explained  to them what are some of the different vegetables are  because some  of them didn’t know  what a green pepper is  and they were very exited to finally know what they were eating at home because some of them say their parents don’t tell them the name of the vegetables they eat

Logan an shameeg gave the grade 4 kids a reading test and some of the results we a bit shocking because some of the kids did not even know basic words such as to, his, her and many more words and what was even more shocking was that we gave the grade 5 kids the exact same test and to our surprise the grade 4 kids were better off in terms of reading an pronouncing the words it absolutely broke my heart to see that

I think this last to weeks was extremely fun an exciting for this children at woodlands primary school. We’ve learnt so much from the kids already am I think we can only grow from here god bless.
