REFLECTION ON A SCHOOL VISIT


On the 14 August 2019, the whole Journalism 1st year class visited the Lujiza Primary school which is situated in Duncan Village. They went there to see the children that they were going to work with for the first time and get to know them as they will be helping them in writing their short stories and poems.
So when they got there they received warm welcome from both the children  and their teachers. Each of the journalism student then had to choose a child that he/she is going to work with. 
 Since they met for the first time with the children they just spoke to them asking them about their selves and they also got to introduce themselves to the children . They wanted to get to know each other and  make the children feel free to talk about anything with them. These journalism students  connected very well with the children in Lujiza, one boy even told them that he has a twin who looks exactly like him.
 As they was talking with the school children they  noticed that the children were very smart and  some of them had dreams of becoming doctors one day. Some of the children revealed that they like to draw and that they think drawing is one of their strengths.
 The 1st year journalism class enjoyed every minute of being there in Lujiza Primary. Having to talk with those kids was interesting to them, they could tell from  the children`s responses that they are so intelligent.

The experience was so overwhelming  for the class as the children were so eager to do this project with them. Even their behaviour was a very good behaviour, they showed a disciplined behaviour
Mostly the children chose writing  short stories and some even  had stories in  mind. The children  couldn’t wait  to start working on the stories .The journalism class was happy about the children, they asked a lot of questions and couldn't leave anything without understanding it first.
