Yonela
has done very well over the past few months and is proving to be a fast learner.
She listens carefully to what is being asked of her and is always ready to help
her friends. She has taken a great liking to puzzles and is often found sitting
quietly in a corner putting one together. She
already learnt her numbers up to 10 and basic colours and shapes. Her mother is
very supportive of the crèche and what it is trying to achieve and is over
the moon with the progress Yonela has made. We are also very happy with Yonela
and excited to see how she progresses over the next year Our
big news has been the opening of the Pebbles after-school club on the farm. This
ensures that the children will still be supported by Pebbles once they leave the
crèche and start their schooling. The club offers extra curricular support
as well as sport / art and other activities. It is proving to be a huge success
with the children already and is running every afternoon following the end of
school. The
children from Villiera crèche have been taken on a number of outings over
the past few months. The last outing was at Stellenbosch Animal Zone, where the
children were introduced to a number of animals that they had not seen before!
It was a wonderful day and although the children were nervous of the animals at
first, they soon found the courage to touch the animals and even feed them. |
