Some parents asked if we could run a holiday program at Grace School, and the school committee decided it was a great idea. We also hoped it would be a good way to advertise our beautiful new school in the community.
For the last fortnight Catherine, with a lovely team, has been running an English Holiday Club. Here are a few picks from the last day.
UNO was very popular, as were Guess Who, puzzles (with pictures to discuss) and many other games to build language. We focused on encouraging the children to speak and took advantage of the opportunity to listen to and converse with several native speakers.
Football and the playground were a hit of course. “Call to each other in English please.”
Cute.
Our market shops neat and tidy, ready to invite the parents to shop with us in the afternoon.
Story time, waiting for our little concert to begin.
The parents arrived, and we excitedly performed some songs and rhymes. “We’re going on a lion hunt…”
Thanking the volunteers
The kids brought their parents inside to shop in the market we made during the week. There were some bargains to be had and some rather pricy pieces of clothing.
I was thankful for a great team, an endearing bunch of kids and a successful fortnight.
