Samara has strong speaking and listening skills. She enjoys listening to stories and engages in discussions about
characters and plots. She writes her news and stories independently and demonstrates good spelling skills. However, she
needs to work on the structure of her sentences by using different sentence-openers and applying capital letters and full
stops consistently. Samara should practise letter formation and focus on presenting her work neatly. She has good
blending skills and reads in a soft voice. According to the New Salford Sentence Reading Test, Samara has a reading age
of 7 years and 2 months, which is a good result. I encourage her to read extensively during the holidays and concentrate
on developing strong written comprehension skills.

Samara is a good mathematician who grasps new concepts easily. She demonstrates solid mental mathematics skills. She
shows initiative in solving problems in various contexts and is beginning to develop a fluent knowledge of number facts
and concepts. She has developed a broad range of skills in using and applying mathematics and I encourage her to keep
this up. Samara enjoys the practical elements of the subject. I urge her to continue using her mathematical knowledge in
real-life situations. She can also play board games and use online sites to practise.

PATRON: Mrs Rita KARIKARI
Samara has actively participated in the African Rhythms Co-curricular Club and has thoroughly enjoyed all the sessions.
She learned to play two distinct types of Kpanlogo rhythms: initially using her palms (referred to as Palm rhythm), and
then employing drumsticks (known as Stick rhythm). However, she is encouraged to follow instructions carefully.
Samara's efforts at playing the right rhythms on the drum are commendable. Great job, Samara.
