Rafiki link in our school has been doing great and we have been able to learn how to use computers which we never did before. We learnt how to transfer photos from digital cameras to computers and also how to use microsoft office word where we even went ahead and put it into practice where we made a school newsletter which is shown below. we thank our Rafiki Link co-ordinator for training us.
He usually comes with two laptops and two modems on every Monday and Thursday of the week. the laptops that he carries to our school are not enough because we are ten students, we work in two groups where we have five students on each group and we also we do not have power source in the school for the two laptops so we use them and when they are out of charge we go home. Before we closed the school Mwaniki created email addresses for us where he taught us how to send and receive emails which was really exciting doing it amongst ourselves, we now hope to be communicating a lot with students in Canada next year when we get back to school.
NGEYA PRIMARY SCHOOL NEWSLETTER
Pupils here come in school at 7am in the morning and leave at 4:30pm, they usually eat lunch in school which is a mixture of maize and beans and we call it “Githeri” in our language. Ngeya has a population of about 1,800 pupils and its a government/ public school. There have been some improvements that have been made in the school and they include; a new hall has been built. Our teachers staff room that looked very bad has been newly painted, we have also been competing in games with a polytechnic that is just next to our school. We are also very happy because of Rafiki Link being introduced to our school and we thank Albion heights for being our partner school. In Rafiki Link club, we have some members who really love playing basketball but we do not have a field for such a game, we only have football, volleyball and netball fields in the school. We also learn how to use computers and how to post on school blog on every Monday and Thursday of the week, Mr. Mwaniki teaches us on the use of computers after classes, we really love these teachings because we are heading in a world of technology which we have a chance of learning in our school. There have been no many public primary schools that are lucky to learn computers, but we are very lucky to have our teacher who teaches us about computers.
ENVIRONMENT
Environment club in our school has been a successful club. This club has many activities in the school .It has been making our school compound look neat by planting trees in our compound .This club has introduced many ways on how they can change the school compound to become an attractive place for many people from outside country, making Ngeya primary school a place that is going to be known everywhere because of tree planting .These changes are that they have introduced vegetable garden that is providing food supplement in our diet .In the garden, they grow crops like; cabbages, kales and onions.
The school is now trying to find out ways on how this club can develop itself and Its also helping to make the environment club to be the most shinning environment club in Longonot zone .The environment members have been watering the trees which they have planted even when the school goes on a holiday, they still come to school to take care of the trees that they planted. These trees are growing very well and they are so healthy and beautiful.
We hope that when those trees grow tall we are going to have very nice learning environment unlike the condition that we learn in is very hot and dry.
