Every morning Monday to Friday
before school starts at
7:30 am
Little ones (5-year-old) build
fences and cages for
dragons.
They love to play and build.
Bigger girls make bracelets and other items like
fruit, hotdogs or bees using
loom bands.
Some are playing games on iPad
Dis darem baie vroeg vir die winter? Wanneer begin die regte skool? Hoe laat begin die mense normaalweg werk?

You have some great activities set up for the children, Ineke. They obviously love coming to your group.

Thanks, since I started my group has doubled in the mornings. One of these days I’ll need an assistant because there has to be one teacher for every 10 children. Mine goes up to 15 at times.

You obviously have the knack with little ones, and you’re definitely a creative person. I should think it’s a very rewarding job to do. Fifteen children is quite a lot, and I do hope you get an assistant if it reaches twenty!

The number of kids doesn’t bother me at all.In SA we had up to 40 children in one class with no extra help, nothing.

I know classes can be huge, but with this kind of creative work, it must keep you busy sorting out so many materials, as well as helping individual children. Anyway, you do seem to be loving it. 🙂

After many years of teaching, and no funds or material to use, it is very easy to keep the kids busy here in NZ. I enjoy every moment of it. It keeps me young and going.

If it keeps you young, I’ll have to try it! I know what you mean, though. I think just being around children gives you a feel good factor. I miss teaching a lot, even though I taught the 11-16 age range. The still kept me feeling young!

The same here. I was also an older child teacher(Many years Primary and also High school) Now with these little once it gives me a feeling of really belonging there with them. I love to take their hands and help them down the steps, help to put their shoes or jackets on, blowing their noses. Didn’t know I can be so motherly. I was always very strict with everything!

that’s great that you can do some things you like before the serious things start :o) I always used this time to do my homework I “forgot” to do at home :o)

I know all about that work you had to do before school. Today children in Primary school are not supposed to get real homework.
