St Mark's school has ended its first term of the year and since the end of term a conference for young people has taken place for 335 youth. Report on this to come.
Also Liz, one of our trustees, and her husband have just returned from a visit to St Mark's - full report to come soon. Over the past few months we have been working with Education Uganda (www.educationuganda.org) to see the introduction of slates in the classrooms at St Mark's. During Liz's visit 150 more slates were purchased and Liz reports that they are already being used by all staff at least twice a week which is a good start. Liz did the ‘Slate Use’ DVD to the lower school staff (Baby – P2) because it was more geared to that age range and the other staff were quite busy with marking exam papers. Liz held a group session with P3 – P7 staff to encourage them to share their ideas on ‘Slate Use’ and to continue developing a creative approach around the various topics with older children. Lots of useful ideas came to the surface and they all seemed keen to use slates on a regular basis. They were delighted to hear about the purchase of more 150 slates. Liz says that she believes that slates will be used even more regularly now.
