Die land se beste spellers gaan kragte meet in die eindronde van die Sanlam WOW-spelfees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meer as 375 leerders van 187 skole dwarsoor Suid-Afrika, het gekwalifiseer vir die nasionale eindronde wat Saterdag 19 Oktober by die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US) plaasvind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie Sanlam WOW-spelfees is \u2019n vlagskip-projek van die Woordfees en Woorde Open W\u00earelde (WOW). Die nasionale eindronde is die kersie op die koek,\u201d s\u00ea Saartjie Botha, direkteur van die Toyota US Woordfees en WOW-projek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie spelfees is \u2019n inisiatief wat op voortgesette ontwikkeling gerig is, nie net van leerders se kennis van taal- en spelre\u00ebls nie. Dit brei hulle woordeskat uit, is \u2019n uitstekende oefening in konsentrasie en gee hulle selfvertroue om gemakliker voor vreemdes te praat. Dis vir ons \u2019n voorreg om leerders, ouers en onderwysers in Stellenbosch te ontvang.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sydney Nhlanhla Mbhele, Sanlam se hoofhandelsmerkbestuurder, s\u00ea dis vir Sanlam \u2019n eer om vanjaar vir die vyfde keer die naamborg van die spelfees te wees: \u201cAs \u2019n verantwoordelike korporatiewe maatskappy is Sanlam daartoe verbind om \u2019n blywende nalatenskap te laat vir die gemeenskappe wat ons dien. Ons doen dit deur gesamentlike waarde te skep, ? invloed te h\u00ea op groeiende besigheid en ook gereeld ons bydrae tot sosio-ekonomiese ontwikkeling te meet. Ons ag dit belangrik om vennootskappe te vorm met geloofwaardige ondernemings wat ook \u2019n waardevolle bydrae kan lewer en waarmee ons geassosieer wil word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fiona van Kerwel, die WOW-projekbestuurder, s\u00ea die terugvoer oor die spelfeeste is geweldig motiverend vir haar en haar span, wat die land deurkruis om te sorg dat die verskillende rondes van die kompetisie \u2013 van skoolvlak, dan na kring-, distriks- en provinsiale vlak \u2013 glad verloop: \u201cRegoor die land is opvoeders, ouers en onderwysdepartemente dit eens dat die WOW-spelfees help met om taalvaardighede op te skerp en selfvertroue op te bou.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WOW ondersteun meertaligheid en het weer spelfeeste vir Engels Eerste Addisionele Taal vanaf graad 6 tot 9 in die Wes-, Noord- en Oos-Kaap aangebied. Sedert 2017 bied WOW \u2019n Xhosa-spelfees vir graad 6 en 7 in vier distrikte van die Wes-Kaap aan. Vanjaar is ook \u2019n spelfees vir graad 3 in een van die Wes-Kaapse distrikte geloods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Leslie van Rooi, Senior Direkteur: Sosiale Impak en Transformasie aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch, s\u00ea die spelfees lewer \u2019n wonderlike bydrae tot nasiebou: \u201cOor die afgelope maande het leerders, onderwysers en ouers van alle provinsies van ons land saamgekom om te klank en spel. Dit het in sommige areas in drie van ons nasionale tale plaasgevind en in alle gevalle het ons oor ons kwansuise grense ontmoet. Selfs wyl ons kompeteer kon ons mekaar vind.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea dis lekker om te weet Stellenbosch kan nou met die nasionale eindronde gasheer speel vir \u2019n kompetisie wat die land se ryke diversiteit bymekaar bring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die nasionale eindronde van die Sanlam WOW-spelfees word op Saterdag, 19 Oktober, by die Universiteit Stellenbosch aangebied en die kompetisie begin om 10:00. Die prysuitdeling sal om 15:00 in die Adam Small-teaterkompleks plaasvind. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
