Last day teaching

Our last teaching day at Welcome Primary was today and after finishing off the prepared lessons, we took letters written by the first year Balwearie pupils to grades 5 and 6.

 The letters from the Scottish pupils contained information about their home and school lives as well as questions for the South African students to answer. The pupils from Welcome answered these questions and provided details about their lives here in Cape Town. While they wrote the letters we walked around and got to know the children on a more personal level. 

The lesson went well, however, the pupils from Heideveld are keen to keep the pen pal link going throughout the rest of the school year, instead of just when we visit.

 This would benefit the pupils as they would get a better idea of what life in Scotland is really like.
