As a new term begins, Grade One students have been going over procedures in class, learning to locate books in the library, and locating sight words in self-selected books.

The Grade One class has recently completed a book about themselves. Each student was responsible for making a page with a piece of writing, an outline of their head, as well as two pictures illustrating their feelings and their needs. They were so excited to have made their very own book!

At Sakeji it is not all work, every once in a while we have a chance to sit back, relax and pretend we are farmers.

We have begun to renovate lower school. For many, this is where you began your time at Sakeji Mission School. Classrooms will be relocated for the second term, while a new roof is installed.

The first truss was put up yesterday, while the second one is going up today.

Sakeji has begun to cover the ‘tennis court’. The steel beams to support the roof are installed and braced. We are putting up trusses this week. A covered play area will be a huge benefit to PE lessons, games, and other out of door activities come rain or shine!

On the playground side of the covered play area, we plan to build up a seating area for spectators and classes during instructional times.
