Antelope Park Community Update May 2019

Antelope Park is well known for our assistance in the local communities. Without YOU our guests and volunteers we would not be able to make the difference we do in our community. Thank you.

Mkoba 4 Primary School Special Needs Class

• English Lessons focused on Verb Tenses
• Body Parts -Teaching kids the appropriate terms for their body parts is important for:  self-esteem confidence and self-love. This helps children develop a healthy, more positive body image
• Math Lessons – As children handle money, share items between friends & cut food into portions they are beginning to build up their division skills as part of their everyday life.
• Happy Readers Scheme – Children who cannot Learn to Read cannot Read to Learn & thus do not derive the full educational benefit from attending school. Happy Readers literacy programmes aim to significantly improve the levels of literacy of children at early & middle primary school level.
