Tantyi Primary held their annual reading day at the school on Friday 15 September.

Organised by Grade 1 teacher Luleka Vabaza, children from Grade R to Grade 6 took part, reading and performing poetry in isiXhosa and English, with the Grade 6 pupils doing storytelling – Intsomi yesiXhosa – and performing short plays.

Vabaza said the annual festival, in September, was part of a project to encourage children to read, write and speak both English and isiXhosa.

Grade 6 pupils Asive Heathcote and Sibulele Molly had an audience of parents, grandparents and neighbours exclaiming, gasping and laughing as they told their Intsomi yesiXhosa.
