Monthly Report February
Written by Teacher Margaret
Jambo you all. I hope you are all doing well and I hope you started the year 2020 well. We at Happy Day Junior school started at a higher note after the long Christmas holidays. The first term is ongoing and it's all systems go with the new competence based curriculum of education. We are trying our best to cope with the new changes. The system is a very busy one for all including parents, teachers and the children. All must participate in the day to day learning. Most of the learning in this system involves observation from the parents and the teachers. It's mostly about handwork. Practicals are more than the theory part of learning. Tangible items and things are used in almost all the activities. We have to improvise most of the learning and teaching materials from locally available things though we also have to buy some. We will keep on updating the happenings of the system as time goes by.
Most of the kids are back and we always do new admission or enrollment every beginning of first term for the playgroup class. This are children ages between 3 - 4 years. In the current system this class is mostly learning through singing, playing, and touching. We have also done a few new admission for the other classes. We have 48 children as of Friday 31st January 2020.
Our JAN / FEB budget is as follows:

Monthly Report January
Written by Teacher Margaret
Happy new year to all of you Happy Day family, friends, pupils and staff. I hope this finds you well
. We too are fine.
We are scheduled to open school on 6th January 2020 for the first term. We have had a very long stay at home for the holidays. We are happy that at last we are going back to happy day junior school and meet each other.
We are very grateful for the Christmas food that our families received during the holidays. We bless each person who gave towards the same.
As we usher in the new year, we have high hopes that 2020 will be a better year for us both in academic and social life. As you all know, the new curriculum is in place and each one of us is looking forward to embracing the new changes. Through the system, our children will not be given numbers according to their academic performance, they will be graded according to their abilities in every activity undertaken..... Children will be under constant observation from their teachers. In the previous system, pre School took 3 years, primary school 8 years, high school 4 years then University took as many years as required by a student's course.
The current system starts with playgroup, pre primary 1, pre primary 2, then a child proceed to lower primary ( this includes grade 1,2 and 3), they then go to upper primary ( grade 4, 5 and 6). From grade 6 they go to junior high school for 3 years, then to senior high school for 3 more years. After high school they join the national youth service before joining the university.
Due to the changes in the curriculum, we have had a lot going on. We had to be trained again, we had to buy new text books, we had and still have to get new teaching aids and we also had to engage the parents more in the day to day happenings. Our parents had to hand make some learning materials for their kids as we also play our roll. We will keep updating you on interesting activities and challenges as they occur.

Monthly Report June
Written by Teacher Margaret
We hope you are all doing well. We at happy day are doing well especially now that four of us have started training for the new curriculum of education. We feel charged up for the task ahead of us. We have now learnt how to go about with the new system of education and we are most grateful to those who have enabled us to get this very important knowledge. Be blessed.
We will start updating on our wall the kids progress as per the system so that you and us can help the kids to grow wholely. The new system is all about identification of talents and abilities in our kids especially on life skills so that they can learn on issues that concern their field of interest. We have been taught how to create a portfolio for each kid so that we can start monitoring their likes and dislikes. We hope to continue giving them the best that we can. The new system requires lots of tangible material because its not about writing, its more of mind development. Each child needs to have a personal file, manilla papers, a pair of scissors, stick glue, a ruler , a pencil and a maker pen. We have asked the parents to buy the items for their children but unfortunately most of them haven't bought. We will also need modelling clay and water colours. We hope to get this items so that we can teach what we have been taught. We will always give progress reports of every child to their parents through grading ( no more numbers). We have been giving numbers according to the marks gained. From the highest to the lowest
Our kids need lots of exposure outside the walls of happy day junior school so that they can have real life experience of what they will learn in class. This will enable them to expand their minds on what they want to do when they grow up. All of our happy day kids are from financially unstable families and they haven't been away from their informal neighborhood except those who have gone for school tour at happy day. We wish to take them for an educational tour once more by next term.
Teacher Kellis is still away for maternity leave and we wish her and the newborn baby all the best. She will be back in three months time
Our June/July budget is as follows
Salaries......... 75000
Chai...............21000
Food...............25000
Gas..................2400
Insurance...... 14000
Water...............3000
Stationary....... 5000
TOTAL........... 145,400
Thanks once more and have a blessed new month.
Lots of love from Happy Day junior school administration, staff , children and parents. Be blessed
