On 14th February, our Grades 6 & 7 learners visited one of our local ‘compounds’ to read traditional African Stories to the people who live there.
During the cholera-extended end-of-year break, our staff managed to download, print and spirally-bind another 380 stories from the EU’s African Storybook website. Learners chose a book each and read their story to everyone they met – adults, children and groups of local people.
We do this every term: it’s important for learners from more affluent homes to experience how ordinary people live – and it boosts our learners from these communities to be able to ‘show-off’ their learning to their friends and neighbours.
