Right on time, 6 year old Renee skipped into the schoolroom! (We are becoming friends) Soon after that, Regan, Vontray and Sunna arrived. I was told that they had called in on Megan, but that she was still in her pygamas, and would not be coming BUT about 5 minutes later, she made her appearance. They all paid good attention.
I have started an attendance chart with each child's name on it, and stars and stickers for attendance, bringing their Bibles, knowing their memory verse and bringing a friend. The one with the most stickers will receive a prize at the end of the term. This seems to be quite important to them.
Here they are writing out their memory verses after the lesson.
This was followed by plasticine play, and then the inevitable request to go to the manse and "play with the kitten". I made a bowl of popcorn, and once again, they just enjoyed chatting and playing games.
Graeme said that an Afrikaans couple attended the Knollcombes service - the Malans. They are visiting their son, who is here on a contract, and will be contacting me during the week. I am speaking more Afrikaans since coming to St Helena, than what I did while I lived in good ol' Durban.
I worked on my lace book marker for about an hour and a half, but got frustrated with all the tangling bobbins - it is just not "flowing".
The 7.30 pm Jamestown service ended our Sunday "work day." Graeme is working through the Epistle to the Galatians in his Sunday sermons. Rich, relevant teaching.
