Can you believe we’re in the last stretch of Grade 2? What a year filled with fun, love, wonder and laughter. Reflecting on one of the best years yet, is no easy task. Some highlights include: Splishing and splashing at Boulders Beach, collecting litter at Fish Hoek Beach and dodging sea urchins at Dalebrooke. Dancing many nights away during our school[Read More…]

This year we have placed a huge focus on how to conserve our brilliantly created planet. This term has been particularly exciting as we’ve been learning about everything under the sea, and how we can protect the sea creatures by making a difference on the land. We have been “eco-bricking” to our hearts content and this week we went to Fish[Read More…]

Last week we did a few variations of The Elephant’s Toothpaste experiment. We had such a great time together on the field as a grade as we experimented for the first time. The kids were fascinated by the different colours of the “toothpaste”. We then invited the Grade 1s and 3s into our “labratories” to show off our experiments. The beauty of[Read More…]

As teachers we try our best to display our gratitude towards our children[Read More…]

Today we learnt about the Water Cycle, and that the water we have today, is the same water our great, great grandparents had. This was quite a shock to our boys and girls. Some interesting questions were raised as to[Read More…]

As a grade, we have had the privilege of collecting essential items for Sweetpeas Baby Care Packs. Sweetpeas is an amazing ministry that provides beautiful bags of everything you could possibly need when taking home a newborn. They visit the new moms at False Bay Hospital, who often have nothing but a blanket and a nappy to take their baby[Read More…]

This is such an exciting term as we dig straight into growing beans! The Grade 2s are keeping a “Bean Journal” to document each and every change their bean makes on its journey to becoming a green and healthy Bean Plant. It is so wonderful to see the children’s enthusiasm towards writing, and keeping an updated journal. This Writer’s Day we[Read More…]
