Starfish Story: Cyril Ofori
My starfish story is about a young boy who I am supporting in Year 2. Initially it was almost impossible for me to get him to even write the date within a 30 minute writing lesson because he felt it was not cool to be in school. He would often say: “My brother was expelled from school so I don’t want to be in school”. With constant encouragement and support with his learning I was able to help him gain an interest in writing and learning in general. Since he has come back in the New Year, he has come in with a new attitude and has completed all his work. He now seems very eager to learn!
