BIRTHDAYS – Children always look forward to their birthdays and it was not any different from our smiley Anna who celebrated her 9th birthday on the 16th of December 2020. Everyone looked forward to tasting the birthday cake and enjoy the treats. Anna’s birthday was the last birthday to be celebrated in 2020.
SCHOOLS – Non-examination classes closed school on the 4th of December 2020. Obet, Rosaria and Purity began their 9th grade examinations on the 7th and ended on December 14th. Rhodia began writing her 7th grade examinations on the 21st til December 24th, while Eustus and Gertrude began their 12th grade final examinations on 7th til December 29th.
CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS –– Christmas celebrations are always fun and filled with love. The children had their Christmas party on the 24th of December and like always, they were in charge of the whole program with poems, dances and songs to celebrate the birth of Christ. This Christmas party was quite different from the usual because parents or relatives of some of the children were also invited to spend time with them. They were also encouraged to visit the children often and as a way of staying in touch with them.
TODDLERS DAY OUT – The toddlers were treated to a day out in December. They had fun and enjoyed a time of playing together in a new environment. They had a meal and it was such a fun filled day to remember.
DECEMBER 2020 SCHOOL REPORT – In the month of December, the school had few activities. This was because it was the month in which the pupils were supposed to go on break. The school closed on the 4th of December 2020 and it was scheduled to open in January 2021. Regardless of the closure of the school, there were activities that happened after the closure.
On the 10th of December, the school had a Christmas party. This made the students feel loved because the celebration brought joy and happiness in their hearts. On this day, the kids were given presents and they had a delicious meal which they enjoyed. In addition, they had different performances such as poems, cultural dances and contemporary dances.
In addition to having a Christmas party in December, the 7th graders who were in examination class began their final exams. They started on the 21st and completed on 24th. It was interesting for them and they always gave positive outcomes after the exams. As the school, we hope for the best even as the results are released.
