The following are comments made by children that participate in the WiseOnes program:
Mother: I wanted to provide you with some well overdue positive feedback about Gracie’s experiences at Wise Ones. It is a great program that she gets very excited about each week and has done so since she started in grade 1. She finds it challenging and feels she is able to use her brain in a very creative and different way. It has been a great academic addition for her. Feel free to pass this onto Richard and Judy also. Below is her feedback:
Gracie: “I love WiseOnes because your ideas and thoughts can be free, no matter how wacky. You can extend your brain and you can live up to your full potential. I would not stop Wise Ones. It is always my favourite part of the week. We make up silly ideas that can go with what we’re doing. I find this class free and fun. Claudine makes us think of things from a perspective you would never think of. Another perspective is very important to see things through. For example we had to look at pieces of writing about Ancient Chinese Masters, and had to try and work out what they did. By looking at this from a different perspective, we were able to work this out.
Claudine is always there at the class (even if she is not feeling completely well) and teaches us new things. , I rank (vvvvv) five smiles.10/10. ”
Mother again: It is great that Malvern Primary has this program available to the children. Regards Monique Richardson
