On Wednesday 13th, starting at 1.00 pm, 30 teachers from Drakensview Primary and 15 teachers from neighbouring schools will be having a right brain creative writing training.
Penny Paterson, the HOD, has been organizing it . This all happened due to the encouragement of Ms Sethembile Magubane (photographed) who has been a Dancing Pencils Mentor for nine years and started a club in Drakensview Primary School in Estcourt in 2011.
This training is a life skill, in which teachers discover their talents, and are able to use the knowledge to share wih the children in the classroom, or extra-murally in the running of Dancing Pencils Writing Clubs who do have the opportunity of publishing, once a year, their own anthology of stories.
They also get a pack of three books with full explanations of right brain exercises that they can use to help the children develop their creativity.
