Students of the Massacre/Canefield Primary School celebrated Carbouway Day on Thursday to highlight the achievements of the boys at that learning institution.
It also gave them the opportunity to showcase their talent.
The event is the brainchild of Margaret Jules Royer, Education Officer of the West District
Teacher of the Massacre Primary School, Dwayne Drigo told Dominica News Online (DNO) on Thursday that the activity is part of a week set aside by the Ministry of Education to encourage young boys to show their talents.
“At the school we started with an official opening assembly on Monday where the assembly was led by the boys,” he said. “The boys also had a talk session with Mr. (Bonti) Liverpool. On Wednesday they celebrated Career Day, then had a football match and also had a talk with Harmon Graham.”
According to Drigo the boys had fun on Carbouway Day.
“They really liked the Carbouway Day since it gave them a chance to drive their carbouways around the school compound and career day when they had the opportunity to dress in what they would like to be when they grow up,” he said.
girls should get to make their own
Wow! This brings back so many positive memories of my boyhood days. Of course, mine was never this fancy. This is a great incentive to keep children busy, creative and occupied through their own initiatives. Keep up the good work guys.
Maybe we could turn this into a national competition one day soon and grant prizes to the winners in various categories.
When i was a child ,this type of little truc was not what was called a cabouway…sorry i am not saying that this little truc was not part of our cultural toys,,,
two people could sit on a cabouway,,,there were four wheels ,two placed at the back and two placed at the front,while the front axel was was flexible enough so that the front part could turn towards the right and the left ,or towards the direction that you want to go ..small green cocoa were grated ,then placed in the wheels that were sometimes made of wood at the beginning then came the steel wheels…
magic! good work guys.
Well done! They are beautiful
Nice, a look back in the past
Exciting
I remember the days .. I just love these days miss it
We , as African people, are of great minds. I remember those days when I was younger. That’s ingenuity and creation and we must continue to encourage that among our boys. That makes them feel in charge and independent and will follow them in life. I applaud Margaret Jules Royer for that encouragement.
Peace
Nice work, I remember my brothers use to build them when we were small.
