This term our Grade 4s received their E-Colour bands and were so excited to wear them. It is a great tool to use when figuring out how to support their friends and peers. Lockdown and COVID – 19 regulations enforced social distancing which meant that we couldn’t necessarily give our friends a hug to cheer them up if they were[Read More…]
So 2020 started out as any other academic year would for the Grade 11 Business Studies students. However, it all changed on 15 March when President Ramaphosa declared a National State of Disaster. School was not going to be the same again. We started online schooling after a short holiday and returned to the classroom only in June. Now,[Read More…]
Term 3 is underway and what a fantastic term it has been. We have learnt so much and have adapted beautifully to a changing environment. As Term 3 comes to an end we continue to look forward. In the last week, our Grade 3s have had plenty of fun making a hot air balloon craft where they had to brainstorm[Read More…]
As Jo, Beth and Fran climbed up the ladder of the Magic Faraway Tree, their mouthes fell wide open as they saw the strange world that had opened up before their very eyes… Just as Jo, Beth and Fran have been discovering a new magical land of the Faraway Tree, the Grade 2’s have been discovering a whole new world[Read More…]
After an extremely challenging and insanely weird year, the Matrics have MADE IT! They have entertained us all by performing very accurate skits of their teachers… let’s just say if they pay as much attention to their lessons as they do to us, then they’ve got no worries for their final exams. We wish them all the best and know[Read More…]
It has been an exciting few weeks in Grade One as our children get back into the routine of being at school everyday. They have enjoyed tasting success as they get the opportunity to consolidate their knowledge, which helps them to master the concepts taught by their class teacher. They have been hard at work learning about addition and subtraction,[Read More…]
Writing exams under the new normal is still the same! Social distancing has become second nature, but in the IT classroom the students have to maintain their distances during exams. During class time it’s easy to look at the computer next to you and see what your fellow students have created. From time to time you need the reassurance that[Read More…]
Since returning for Term 3, we have realised just how much potential our Grade 5’s have after seeing their creative drawings, the arts and crafts they made & the new skills they learnt during our time away. They really can be anything they want to be. This last cycle, we gave our grade 5’s the chance to be engineers, construction[Read More…]
The Grade 8’s were set the task of designing a basic electrical circuit. They had to construct it in a creative way. We had campfires and fireplaces that “lit” up, house lights that turned on, “idea” bulbs above bunnies heads (?!) Everything the Grade 8’s could imagine! We have been learning about the different components of a basic electrical circuit[Read More…]
For our Community Service, the Grade Twos chose to support SANCCOBB, as we were passionate to learn about penguins in Term 1. We did this by raising funds in our Grade to adopt penguins in need. The SANCCOBB penguins have either been abandoned, injured or are very weak. The adoption fee per penguin pays for its food, healthcare and other[Read More…]
