Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Lecturers and students from Unam\u2019s Khomasdal Campus recently visited the Monte Christo Primary Project School to show off the books they created and model the teaching skills they were taught.<\/p>\n

Thirty-five students from the School of Education\u2019s Department of Early Childhood Education and Care were accompanied by three language lecturers \u2013 Helga Kaurora, Jacolynn van Wyk and Jessica Jansen \u2013 on their visit to the school situated in the Havana informal settlement of Windhoek.<\/p>\n

The students created their own Big Books in English as well as several other Namibian languages. They were encouraged to use recycled material and integrate themes from Environmental Studies in their stories.<\/p>\n

Their Arts Education skills enabled them to create the books.<\/p>\n

In collaboration with principal Elizabeth Murangi and two grade 3 teachers \u2013 Violety Jansen and Uno Murangi \u2013 the students were afforded the opportunity to show off these big books and model the skills they were taught.<\/p>\n

The school visit was supported by Deep Sea Investments, who sponsored fruit, juice and chips for the learners and students.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a lack of story books, and this project gives us ideas to make our own and foster the culture of reading in our learners,\u201d said the principal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so glad we visited the school; the interaction with the learners was good \u2013 and seeing how well my book worked with the activities I developed gave me ideas on how to improve,\u201d one student remarked.<\/p>\n

The Read-Aloud project strives to narrow the gap between theory and practice, promote literacy and language development and enhance work-integrated learning experiences.<\/p>\n

It ties in with the mission of the school of education to provide quality teaching and promote educational technology as well as innovative best practices.<\/p>\n
