Class Profile: Ikamvalesizwe Combined School Grade 5A

Grade 5A in Kenton on Sea:
Total students: 21; 10 girls, 11 boys
2 students we have suspected to have some kind of reading disability, maybe dyslexia.
Ages: Mostly 11 and 12, one 13 and one 14.
English speaking ability: All of them are far more comfortable speaking isiXhosa, but a few always volunteered to speak and try to say something.
Interests: Singing, dancing, acting, drawing.

The class was so much fun to work with. They put forth a great effort every day and almost every day they were all present. They made good progress with the vocabulary and did much better on writing their own sentences in their post-tests.
