Cups of Fun!

 

The seniors had some "Ball"-listic fun today in the great PING PONG CUP TOSS CHALLENGE. Those who weren't competing, stood by to cheer their friends hoping for their top score! Great throw!

It's tee off time... Sorry we meant tea!

 

Sorry - we weren't teeing off at the golf course.. we actually learnt how to set a tea tray and carry it carefully, trying to walk without spilling. Although there wasn't any hot water involved, the learners took their tasks seriously and not a drop was spilled! Next time, we'll try the real thing. 

It's "Toast-ally" awesome!

 

Hmm.. what's burning? It's definitely not us because we made perfect toast today. The junior class learners had fun learning how to open and close a bread bag and operate the tricky toaster. But it was a unanimous decision... eating the toast was definitely the best part! 

Making a Splash - From Paddle to Podium

 

As part of St Joseph's Day, our learners participated in the Junior School Swimming Gala and we got the most cheers from everyone and boy did they love the support from all the parents and teachers even from those who weren't their own! Well done to our fabulous swimmers splashing their way to victory!

Puppet Making Adventures

 

Today our learners discovered the creativity of puppets and what a resounding success it was when they made their own hand puppets and later used their puppets to make a puppet show or should I say, conversation central...

F Day the Feast Day of St Joseph

 What a special day we had today, choc-a- block full of joy and success. The senior class started the day off with an educational talk on Cyber Bullying.

Happy Braai Day!

 

We don't need it to be National Braai Day to enjoy a good Boerewors Roll. Our day was filled with the delicious braai smell that made the rest of the school jealous and our learners had a ball filled with sugar, spice and everything nice! What a wonderful day it was for everyone and a huge thank you to the Teubes Foundation for the generous donations.

Team Building Triumphs

 

Today our learners tried their hands at working together to figure out problems and solve them as a team. What fun it was to see the laughs and joy. Even seeing the frustrations when they couldn't quite get it was wonderful because it was followed by sheer delight when determination paid off and they got it - it just shows there is always the hope and promise of success no matter how small or big when you put your mind and heart to it.

End Of Year Programme

 

Goodbye seems to be the hardest word

 All good things must come to an end. Today was the last day that we will see the smiles, of 4 of our senior learner's, light up the rooms in our Unit. It is with hope and pride that we bid farewell and good luck to our darling leavers. May you see what we see in you, may you remember your value. When you are faced with that new challenge and environment may you face it the way you faced the work we did here: with preparation and perseverance.
