There is one relationship in a child’s life that effortlessly scores above all others – the one shared between a mother and her child.
On May 6, Midrand-based Summerhill School Grade 1 learners honoured their selfless mums and played a netball match against them in celebration of Mother’s Day.
According to Olivia Mutambiranwa, head of Grade 1 and event coordinator at the school, this event was priceless in terms of love, dedication and devotion a mom demonstrates to her family.
“Mothers jumped into the fray with zeal, and the learners were determined to win. The learners passed the ball back and forth as quickly as lightning,” said Mutambiranwa.
The netball match provided an excellent opportunity for mothers to bond with their children. Moreover, the mothers of the school’s Grade 1G and Grade 1V competed against each other, while the learners enthusiastically cheered them on.
After the netball matches, the learners gave their mothers spekboom plants that they had tenderly potted. “Moms were served water, tea, and muffins. This was a truly memorable event.”
