Elizabeth Nadlir Nir training

The hall was packed...

Playing games......!

Over 70 Shine volunteers gathered on a windswept Cape winter morning for some of Elizabeth's sunny insights. She started with a Q&A, then led the group through a few games, followed by a demo of Have-a-Go Writing. The Q&A brought up some very interesting issues, reflecting our idea for having a "games morning."  It is only through playing our Shine games that we can we begin to enjoy them and share the skills with our children.  Roll on next term! Thank you to all who braved the weather.  We do hope that even the most seasoned and experienced of you came away better informed-- I know I did. 

I particularly enjoyed the exercise where we  identified ourselves as flowers: the message being that we are varied, numerous and diverse, but all beautiful! Elizabeth teaches with a sense of ease and grace and with great humour, which we can carry through to our weekly sessions with our Shine children. Thank you, Elizabeth.
