The Grade One class has recently completed a book about themselves. Each student was responsible for making a page with a piece of writing, an outline of their head, as well as two pictures illustrating their feelings and their needs. They were so excited to have made their very own book!

We have begun to renovate lower school. For many, this is where you began your time at Sakeji Mission School. Classrooms will be relocated for the second term, while a new roof is installed.

The first truss was put up yesterday, while the second one is going up today.

Sakeji has begun to cover the ‘tennis court’. The steel beams to support the roof are installed and braced. We are putting up trusses this week. A covered play area will be a huge benefit to PE lessons, games, and other out of door activities come rain or shine!

On the playground side of the covered play area, we plan to build up a seating area for spectators and classes during instructional times.

Every year at Sakeji we have a bit of an informal tradition around Easter. The kids take a Sunday afternoon and work in teams to use only things they find around them to create a mini scene of the easter story. The creativity and ideas always amaze us as we remember this special time.

Junior boys are learning about archery this term with Mrs. Ronald.

Students enjoyed a couple of days of half-term; swimming at the pool, tubing in the river, getting a ride on a trailer pulled by the quad-bike, and so much more!
