We had our feedback session for the term with Grace’s teachers today, and she is doing very well overall. Her reading and numbers are progressing nicely. Her writing is her weakest area, but she just needs to keep practising. She loves to help the younger children, herding them like a mother hen so that she can explain numbers or whatever work they’re busy with (which is what she loves to do with Eli too). They are also happy that she will be very ready to join the junior primary next year, both on an academic and a social level.

I’m really happy that she has found her groove and is happy and settled in the school. We’ve gone from her struggling to readjust after the holidays, to settling into the focussed work and zoning in, and recently she has started asked to be dropped off at the gate (not the classroom), so she is feeling more confident and settled.
