The three Aberdeen primary schools welcomed a total of 181 new learners in Grade 8 last week.
Luxolo’s Grade 1 teacher, Mrs SL Vaster, was firmly in control of her 40 little ones – no easy task! – and they were carefully colouring in pictures. This is the largest Grade 1 class in Aberdeen but Mrs Vaster, with over 20 years experience of teaching Grade 1's, took it all in her stride.
At Camdeboo Primary there are three Grade 1 classes, with a total of 97 children. Mrs de Jager’s class proudly displayed their names for the photographs, Mrs Minnaar quickly rearranged her classroom and Mrs Heinz’s large class of 36 were swiftly and efficiently organized.
Aberdeen Primary has 44 little ones, and they are fortunate to be able to have them divided into two classes. Mrs Adonis’ class, 1B, were ready with huge smiles and a great big “cheese” for the photographs while being very neatly dressed. Mrs Basson’s class, 1A, are fortunate to have two students from the Netherlands helping, and they were in neat lines of boys and girls in very quick time! Mrs Basson was also able to leave them waiting in absolute silence for her return!
All the new Grade1’s and their parents are wished a happy, productive and successful year ahead.
