Siyakhathala Primary Programme provides literacy support for primary school learners in grades 3 and 4.We aim to support the learners in literacy and lifelong learning. Our cohort are chosen across four grade 3 classes at Siyazakha Primary. By conducting the Learning Gym in this year group (the year prior to the transition to English as the language of learning) we hope to raise literacy levels in the home language (in this case isiXhosa) as research shows that taking on a second language is then boosted. The programme supports parents to engage in the learning process with their children and enables them to enact their rights and responsibilities within the school community. The programme includes: - After school literacy support to 120 grade 3 and 4 learners - Psycho-social support for learners - Regularly conversations with parents, encouraging parental involvement We are developing learning habits in our learners which will equip them to succeed as resourceful, reflective and resilient learners. use our circle time activities as an oportunity to develop the learners’ emotional vocabulary and give them useful ways to deal with social and emotional aspects of their lives in a positive way.
