Portable Document Format

Wow! What can I say, It was a great experience. I am really fortunate to have been exposed to this THRASS program! I really enjoyed this session and will really share it with the learners when I teach in the future! 

This workshop rocked! Both two days was fun and happy but most of all I was able to learn the words and remember the graphemes! Thank you THRASS for bringing fun into education. Janine you inspired me to be more child like. You were awesome! 

This was wonderful! I really enjoyed myself very much. The most important thing that I learned so much is that I understand THRASS better now! If I could go to class now I could have an impact in my learners as I am well equipped in terms of THRASS! 

The week was very enjoyable! It was fun and educational as well, I picked things up that I will do with my learners to keep them motivated! 

Wonderful!!! I found the Sing-a-Long extremely entertaining and fulfilling! I feel confident enough to go out tomorrow and teach learners about THRASS. I had tons of fun and lost all inhibitions! It was the most exciting training in my three years here! Thank you Janine and team! 

This was the most fun I had in a long time! I’m sure the kids will love it no matter what age they are. The instructor was very energetic and extremely nice; she gave me a nice tip which I could integrate into any of my lessons which doesn’t only have to be language! Thanks I had lots of fun! 

The workshop was very interesting and fun and the things I have learned from it will help me during my teaching practise! I think THRASS must keep on doing these workshops to help teachers! 

When I came to the workshop, I really dreaded it! Without a doubt this has been a blast! The benefits with regards to stimulating growth and development in children are endless! This is a great, fun way of consolidating learning material! Janine you rock! 

Janine’s Sing-a-Long is sheer poetry! I can’t remember the last time that spelling was so much fun! It was a absolute blast and I know that my learners will have as much fun as we did with each unique and simultaneously educational song! Thank you so much for an absolutely fantastic Sing-a-Long session! 

I really feel that the combination of this song and dance related to the THRASS picturechart could allow children to learn a lot while having fun and finding it interesting at the same time! The songs also promote reading and allow for extensive integration of learning areas including the pictures inside the book. It is friendly for children and would be an asset in any classroom. The presenter is very enthusiastic! 

Janine you are awesome, Thank you for investing your time into the lives of little ones by creative teaching! I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. It has inspired me into becoming a lively and fun teacher at all times! 

Now this I call entertainment! I enjoyed myself but also learned a lot and for that I am thankful and grateful! This is a wonderful programme; this will enable us future teachers better for our own future! What is important is that the kids gain the most! 

This was the most exciting part of the THRASS training. The interaction was excellent; it got us involved from the very beginning. The presenter was brilliant. This course was not only fun but very informative and helped us put together everything we learned in the training. 

It was incredible!! You really helped to show me how useful, practical and fun THRASS can be! Personally if a twenty two year old can enjoy it as much as I did then I’m totally sold on the product! I can’t wait to start using it! I just hope I’m as entertaining and fun as you were! Absolutely incredible! I loved it! Thanks so much for showing me just how much fun THRASS can be! 

I really enjoyed the workshop. I found it very useful for teaching practise! It is something I must do for my class one day! Thank you very much for the educational workshop! 

Absolutely awesome! It was so inspiring! It made me really want to use the Sing-a-Long in the classroom. It will make learning so memorable and fun! Both teachers and learners will be able to enjoy this! Sing-a-Long brings energy to learning literacy. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this! 

I really enjoyed myself, it was really fun! It was really nice singing and dancing along with her. She is friendly and has good sense of humour. Janine has a great voice and I think children will love her music. Thank you THRASS and Janine! 

Great fun. Learnt many new ideas of how to get learners involved and enthusiastic about learning the fundamentals of English! There are some very basic songs that I would think twice about using in the ISP phase but in all a great variety for all the years! Thank you it was great. 

A wonderful way to educate learners in any language! It will be a very enjoyable experience for learners of all ages. I am a third year and enjoyed it to the fullest! Thank you for the helpful hints! 

I’ve found the entire Sing-a-Long session incredibly entertaining, fun and blissful! Never before have I ever experienced spelling and music collaborating on such a level! The lecturer made it fun and exciting! Well planned and greatly executed! 

The workshop was interesting and enjoyable. I’ve learned a lot and some things that I can use to teach my children in the classroom! It will help me in the teaching practise too! 

Fantastic, wonderful exercises and very educational! The development of muscles (gross) and language as well as sounds! Well presented by the lecturer as she is very flexible, can even do it barefoot! Thanks very, very much its real fantastic! 

I found that Sing-a-Long is very interesting in Primary school teaching! I learned a lot from the lecturer she is fun, enthusiastic and motivating! 

Wow! I can only imagine how much my learners are going to enjoy and learn from this Sing-a-Long! I am so excited about introducing it to them. We are all going to benefit from this exciting addition to our lessons! 

This is great, wonderful, exciting and participant orientated programme, no passiveness! It is an all round physical fun and enjoyable workout. It will definitely reach the learners! Learners and students learn better through fun and play! Our presenters are great, funny and great all embarrassing personality. Thumbs up to our presenter, she is 100% professional! 

The workshop was so interesting and I have learned a lot from it! It provided skills that I can use when teaching, if this programme may continue more than a month we can learn more because there is a lot of this that I think we can learn but because of time we did not learn, more time! 

I loved this! I don’t know if a lot of this stuff is ‘cool’ enough for grade 7’s, but definitely for grade 4’s and 5’s and below! Thank you for some good ideas and some wonderful resources that we can use! It was also really great to see such enthusiasm in the presentation and the group! 

Very refreshing and fun! I really enjoyed this part a lot more than the other part! The way it was presented and the person gave you the energy and confidence to want to participate. I will certainly and definitely do this in my class and hopefully I will be just as good as Janine! 

The content taught to us during the workshop was lots of fun and also very useful. I also really enjoyed the fact that we were able to be involved throughout the workshop the interaction with each song is great! This has definitely been worth our while! 

I found this Sing-a-Long workshop fun. The lecturer who gave the course was full of energy and she made it enjoyable for us as students. I think I could be able to teach these things what I have learned in this short amount of time! Thanks it was fun! 

Fun and it will bring great joy to the learners one day! The instructor was the best, thumbs up! I will use the knowledge in the classroom. It is a great way to bring words to a child! 

I have really enjoyed the workshop. It was really fun and made me think about whether I am in the right phase! I will definitely use all the info and resources I have received in the past two days to equip me further in my teaching. I really helped that the person presenting was as vibrant as she was, her attitude really did fill the hall! 

It was a whole lot of fun, joy and excitement! I really enjoyed all the movements and interaction. It was fun to sing and dance along! I think that the more involved the child is in practical things the more they will learn, memorise and not forget! Thanks a lot! I could use this as warm-up activities with my class as well! 

This has been a wonderful experience. I am so excited! I can’t wait to share this wonderful book and CD with other teachers especially my children one day! The workshop was fun, exciting, entertaining and I was glad to be a part of this learning environment! 

The Sing-a-Long program was great! It was fun and the songs we sang was wonderful! I really enjoyed it a lot and the children at school will enjoy it even more! I know this program will go a long way and the children will learn a lot from it! I also learned a lot and will teach it to my learners! 

Absolutely amazing! So inspiring and revitalising! If learners do this they will have a blast and learn! I will use the music with choreography for so much more than just the classroom! Physical education as well! I am so hyped to work with this music! 

Absolutely delightful! Definite Benefit! 

This training is helpful to my teaching and it gives me good skill for physical end emotional time for the children, and give more fun time for the children and it is very interesting! Keep it up! 

The Sing-a-Long was fantastic! Lots of fun and learners would learn a great deal! It is a interesting way for learners to become familiar with the sounds, letters, words etc… Janine really showed us a fun –loving way to do this type of work! 

Great time, lots of fun and definitely something I will do when I become a teacher. If I enjoyed it so much then the children will have an even better time especially when the learners are feeling tired, half way through the day! Thank you so much! 

Really enjoyable, Thank you! Much better than the class! 

It was really wonderful and fun! Learners will enjoy themselves to the fullest! Janine was absolutely great and she wasn’t even shy! 

I really enjoyed this workshop and I am sure I’ll use it when I go teach when I go on teaching practise. Thank you Mrs Plunkett! 

I really enjoyed the workshop and I am looking forward in using the system for myself! I will use it for lesson introductions and ice-breakers and using it with the other learning areas! 

I really enjoyed the Sing-a-Long, great fun! I will definitely make use of it in the classroom; it has given me inspiration to use music and Sing-a-Long in all my lessons where possible! 

Thank you for a lively session! I enjoyed myself jumping and singing along! With this information I can add to this! 

Sing-a-Long was absolutely fabulous! Worth every second being here and I can’t wait to rock n roll and head bang with my class one day! 

Janine’s Sing-a-Long was very super, super fun! Very interesting way of learning to remember sounds, words etc… I truly enjoyed myself and will teach the learners about to teach this amazing Sing-a-Long!

Thank you very much for such a great resource! Had so much fun and you are very entertaining and energetic! 

It is a wonderful, interactive programme and I really think that it is going to shape the way of teaching English in the classroom! It is fun and if adults can get so involved, I can imagine what it would do for children! 

A lot of fun and a beautiful book thanks!

I enjoy the workshop. I realise if I can teach using music (singing) learners can respond better. Thank you for introducing THRASS to us! It will make a huge difference to township schools! 

This was a fun and exciting workshop. Learners in the class will really enjoy it! This would be easier to teach all songs and pictures show integration! This is a good resource for teachers and it could be linked to all lessons!

Fantastic, great fun and awesome songs! Especially look forward to using the CD on the Smartboard during my practical this year! 

It was very fun and engaging. I hope to use the resources in my classroom. The presenter was engaging and spontaneous, which made the whole experience memorable!

Lovely resources! A brilliant idea for learning the phonemes! Fun and inspiring while learning a lot! 

The actual songs were great, fun and interactive. They took a lot out of me; I can see why children will love them! I do think though that they are aimed at little ones I would have liked to see more suggestions for older children, but all in all this was a lovely experience! 

Really enjoyed the dancing and singing, will definitely try this in my class one day!
