Video: Back to school with a difference
Schools across the country reopened on Monday, June 8 for Grade 7 and Grade 12 learners
Many learners never imagined going to school, wearing a mask and practicing social distancing, but that has become a reality due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
For many of the learners, it was difficult not to hug their friends but they know until the pandemic is over they can’t hug each other.
Schools across the country reopened on Monday, June 8 for Grade 7 and Grade 12 learners.
Before the schools opened the schools were sanitised.
Laerskool Klipfontein has implemented certain steps that the learners had to stick to when entering the school grounds.
The learner gets screened and asked questions before they can go to their classes.
They sit alone at a table and the teachers rotate classes instead of the learners doing so.
Chairs and tables get cleaned every day once the learners have gone home.
Learners are given hand sanitizer when they go in and out of the bathrooms.
All learners are given a space that is marked out on the playground so that social distancing is practiced and that there are not too many learners on one playground at a time.
Then the most important point is that the teachers and learners have to wear a mask or shield.
This is just the start before the grades start going back to school.
