By Daniel

Perfect fun activity for children to do, and learn about a big World out there, and enjoy themselves!

Students love to learn about other languages. The six Sotho words on this classroom poster

  • are often used by teachers
  • all rhyme with each other
  • are easy to remember
  • are words applicable to everyday life
  • can be used in every classroom
  • are given to you in their original spelling and phonetic spelling.

I am a Sotho speaker and I can promise you, since I put up this poster in my class, students use the words daily, they are interested in this tiny and unknown country, and they feel like linguistic giants (tongue in cheek).

By Mark Holmes

They preserve the city’s spirit through storytelling, makeshift classes, and concerts, becoming a symbol of hope. Post-siege, "The Nook" evolves into a community center, its mural a poignant reminder of courage. The children, now adults, impart lessons of unity and creativity to future generations, showcasing the enduring power of the human spirit.

There are thought provoking questions (and suggested answers) at the end of the story.
