Highlights for quarter 1 2024

- My highlights for quarter 1 was that every learner showed seriousness and concentration in the activities and tests that were given to them.

- Highlights is that some learners managed to improve their reading skills for quarter 1 and its was a great improvement for those who were struggling with their reading skills.

- Other learners are showing potential towards their spelling and improved alot in their vowels and consonant charts.

- The activities yhat were handed out to us as TA's were very useful/helpful to learners , not only in improving their skills also in tests tha they were writing for quarter 1.

- Learners in grade 6 have improved a little bit at their writing and are learners that need special attention when it comes to writing and their spelling.

Challenges

- Some learners were very slow during the first quarter.

- Improved learners wee showing a decrease at their potential rate of learning, reading, spelling and writing.
