Last Day of Philosophy
It’s a nice misty day walking from the Phillipi Station
to Tsonga Centre. As I approached the gate, I saw a group of men standing by the
entrance of the
centre. When I went inside to the room that facilitation takes
place in there were groups of people and inside the building there was a buzzing
of people. I went to Mzi who is he co-ordinator of the facility to ask what was
happening.
The room we normally used is occupied, he told me we could use the
other room which was smaller than the one we normally use.
I then asked him to
tell Nikki of what was happening because the space he was giving us was not
enough to accommodate all the ladies. He came back to me allowing us to use the
other room which we used before for the literacy workshop. Finally we started our last day of philosophy.
I got so fascinated when one of the ladies was
sharing her story on how important observing children is. She told us a baby
died in her school. The mother brought the sick baby to school and didn’t tell
her the baby was sick. She put the baby to bed. When it was nappy change
routine, her mother noticed that baby was not breathing. She called the
ambulance and they told her the baby had died. She told us that if she received
information on observations, she believed that would not happen in her school.
Mavis pointed out how she learnt and enjoyed the prepared environment. She
told us that before she knew that she needed to prepare the environment for
promoting effective learning, all she cared about was the safety of the children and that they had their meals.
