What a day!

Hi there my name is Katbut and in my class we do lots of amazing things like our outing when we went on to the V&A Waterfront. If you are wondering why on earth our class went there the reason is we went on the Jolly Roger a pirate ship that passes Robben Island and goes back into the Harbour. So here’s a playback of what happened!
We got to the Waterfront and went to the bathrooms and of course all of the adults smothered us or even drowned us in sunscreen by then we were ready to go.
We all were so excited to go on the Jolly Roger. We saw lots of things and we all had a great time. I LOVED IT!!!!!

Here is a video Mrs Beal made with three of the senior citizens in it. I am also in this video so I am including it in my blog.

Our Senior Citizens reunion

Today was a fun day. We had a baking session and then our senior citizens came to visit us. They wanted to see what we had done in the blogs since they were last here. You can read about my senior citizens project at the bottom of this page.

Our Senior Citizen’s project

I interviewed Susan

Susan as a small child

Hi my name is Susan , I had five brothers and sisters and I lived Rawsonville. My  mother was a domestic worker and my father worked for the council . People around us had lots of different kinds jobs when I was young! In our spare time we made some dolls to play with so we had lots of fun together.

Susan’s Primary School Days

In Primary School we used slates instead of books and the school I went to was called Rawsonville Primary! In those days not many people had cars so I had to walk to school and at school we did a lot of history. When we got to write in the books we wrote in only pencil .We did not have computers. I remember that when children got out of hand the teacher used a cane to smack them on their bottoms! We all had to do homework. I also loved to play netball on the playground. It was great fun!

Susan as a teenager

When I was a teenager I mostly wore dresses when I wasn’t at school. I didn’t have a cell phone, and my school didn’t have any extra murals. In my spare time I liked to help my mom at home! At home my family loved playing dominoes and so did I in the evenings. We did not have computers like I told you so we used a lot of hand-written letters to send to our friends. When I was 19 I was lucky to go on my first date. People went on dates to lots of different places. We loved eating chicken in my family. I met my husband in Muizenberg.

How has South Africa changed since Susan was a child?

Lots of things have chaged. South Africa was very racial at one time.

Does Susan have any interesting information about her own grandparents?

I didn’t see them much so I didn’t really get to know them.

What advice can your senior citizen give to help us in our lives?

Listen to your parents!
