Day 5 with JSS2 was all about reading like a detective. ๐
We practised:
โ Finding clues in the text
โ Matching emotions to characters
โ Pausing at punctuation: because every full stop, comma, and exclamation mark tells a story.
We modelled it first, and then they mirrored it back with confidence.
Itโs not just reading.
Itโs thinking, feeling, and responding: one sentence at a time. ๐
Proud of their focus and their voices! ๐

Day 4: Spelling Bee = Pure fun! ๐๐
Yesterday, our JSS1 learners turned tricky words into a game: breaking them down with phonics, sounding out loud, and owning every syllable.
What couldโve been stressful? Became laughter, claps, and โI got this!โ moments.
When learning feels like play: you know itโs working. ๐
Proud of every bold speller. ๐

Day 3
Building the basics strong! ๐ช
Our JSS1 class focused on phoneme-grapheme connections: matching sounds to letters with clear examples.
From /b/ to /sh/, the students practiced, repeated, and responded with growing confidence.
Small steps, big progress.
Proud of their focus and energy!
Onward to Day 4. ๐
Day 2: Success! ๐
Our JSS2 students took charge reading ๐๐ฐ๐ฏโ๐ต ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฌ ๐๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ญ๐ข ๐ฃ๐บ ๐๐ณ๐ข๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ๐ด๐ค๐ข ๐๐ช๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฏ with confidence and expression. ๐ฌ
They didnโt just read. They thought:
๐น Who were the โgoodiesโ?
๐น Who were the โbaddiesโ?
๐น And why do some kids act that way?
It was more than reading; it was empathy in action.
Proud of our young leaders. ๐ฑ
Canโt wait for Day 3.
We read the storybook โHarryโs Monkeyโ by Robina Beckles Willson.
There was a powerful โAha momentโ when the students collectively agreed that having a monkey as a pet is definitely a โno-noโ ๐. Their understanding and participation were impressive.
Special mention to Emmanuel, who has cerebral palsy. With gentle guidance, he bravely read two full paragraphs today. We are so proud of his courage and effort! ๐
Moments like this remind us why we do this work.
Keep shining, JSS1! ๐ช
