All of you, without fail, have worked so hard. All 21 one of you. Simthandile, Lufefe, Asive, Lwando(x2), Rita, Mpande.....You have enriched my life more than you can tell. I have been the learner, you the teachers: your hard work, determination, enthusiasm and overall zest for life has been a revelation to me. How patient you have all been with this lady with a funny accent.... we have all learnt so much from each other. I was reflecting on this last weekend as I produced reports for you all: our discussions about books: the author, the role of the illustrator, what a full stop indicates, why we use a question mark, what an exclamation mark says to us, how the magic 'e' changes vowel sounds, rhyme and rhythm, the love of words,our pairing games, clapping syllables, fun phonic games, eye-spy, paired reading,......
It has been a pleasure to see you all, every week, over the last six months. Now an exciting new development has been initiated, and I will seeing you twice a week in groups within the classroom. Mrs V, Maurita, Carrie, Jenny Leatt and I will rotate within the classrooms everyday for literacy hour, so although I won't be seeing you in the Shine Centre, I will still be enjoying your company, and I look forward to watching you all grow in confidence and academic prowess!
