Today, May 12th, is the opening day of the third and final term of the school year. I went to the school today to greet the children and teachers and get the final term of our first year off to a good start. Amid the excitement, there was a sad note because one of pupils, Fataw, lost his father. After school ended, we went to offer our condolences to the family. This current school term will end on July 30th. A new learning activity for this term, because of the rains, will be to help the pupils establish a garden, which has rich opportunities for learning at this stage of child development.
