Following a five-month
teaching placement at Qacha’s Nek Primary School in Lesotho, Helen Dawson
visited her primary school’s link school in Wales to teach the pupils about the
country. The morning began with an assembly when the infants watched a DVD of
the Dolen Cymru team’s experience during their placement. Next was the ‘Basotho
Classroom Experience’ with the juniors where the session was split into three
parts: a Social Studies lesson where they learnt about the country and the
culture; a Sesotho lesson where they learnt some simple conversational language
and were able to do role play in pairs; and a recycling workshop where the
pupils were able to make medals, trophies and a catch cup game, out of plastic
bottles. The headteacher, Helen Eades, and advisory teacher, Polly Seton,
participated in the workshop and helped the children practise Sesotho and with
the recycling. Finally, the pupils were able to look at a photographic display
of their link school, admire a selection of traditional crafts and try on some
Basotho hats!
