The first day of school saw many eager Grade 1 learners make a beeline for the classroom. The new additions to primary schools countrywide were excited to make their mark and begin the journey which has been marked by new school uniform, packed lunches and new friends.
Sharonlea Primary School learners were eager to line up behind their class leaders. The myriad of gleaming faces eagerly listened to the instruction of their teacher. The new additions to the primary school were very calm and prepared to learn.
In Fontainebleau, learners at Laerskool Unika were a similar scene. Members of Corlia Meyer’s class calmly ate their packed lunches barefoot, while seated at their desks. Meyer mentioned that a lot of the little ones were in the school’s pre-primary school the year before which prepared them for the first year of ‘big school’.
