This month, Thanda held two books festivals as an opportunity for After-school participants to showcase their work, gain new knowledge, and have fun with students from other schools. A notable activity was from studies on astronomy and solar systems. In one performance, students spoke as different planets and gave some key facts, including the exact kilometres the planet is from the sun – wow!
