June's trip to Kigali Diocese Sound bites from Ann, team leader: Brilliant- great team work-very busy- no time to stop and pause for breath- three team members preached on Sundays- lots of fun and laughter- visits to rural communities by team member to talk about farming. Active Maths Lessons Our maths bag contained plastic tape measures which were used for active measuring, estimating, number line work... a very cheap, reusable and indestructible resource!

Margaret Stockwell, Director of Anchor Education, says "The conference went extremely well, the parents appreciated our input and work with the children and have already decided some topics they want included in the next conference. They were ready to sign up for the next conference after only one day of this one. These are people working in isolated areas who need the help that Anchor Education can give to them and their children." She was accompanied by Angela Rees, an SVN volunteer.

Comments from teachers: "Every child has imagination and when you have good resources you get the attention of the children." "I learned a lot at the seminar especially the Godly Play. I have also learned how to be an effective teacher. Thank you for all the thoughts and ideas you shared with us." "Thank you for the seminar. I now realise I can be more effective in my teaching." Comment from a pastor: "The seminar gave me a better perspective on the role of play in children's learning. The Godly play challenged me to be more creative in presenting Bible stories to children." |
