🎵 Cause We Never Go Out of Style...🎵

 

Welcome to The SNU Hair Salon - we are now taking bookings for break times; with our senior stylist. Call 0800 SNU RAINY DAYS to complete your booking. 😃.. Anyone else love that feeling of your hair being played with? As you can see, one of our learners was almost asleep while his hair was being combed. So fascinating all the creative ideas our learners come up with to keep themselves busy when the weather keeps us inside.

Food skills are skilling....

 

Something smells good.. Take a look at us cooking over the past few weeks of food skills.

Through the Eye of the Beholder

 

Photography is not just a skill... it's a passion too and we love to see the enthusiasm and joy that taking a simple photo brings to our learners so we set a few of them a task: find something spectacular around our beautiful school grounds… and boy did they deliver. National Geographic couldn't have done it better as far as we're concerned. Such incredible talent! 

The St Joseph's Day Swimming Gala 🏊🏽🏊🏽‍♀️

 The Junior Class opened the The St Joseph's Day Swimming Gala. They were unperturbed by the cloudy skies and the excitement and noise. Simply focused on carrying out their item with vigor and confidence. Well done to our swimmers and a Happy St Joseph's Day to all🕊️

Stir it Up and Fry it Too

 

Can we come for lunch? The Senior Chefs made Chicken Stir Fry and we can personally attest to how delicious it was. Just look at their concentration and focus as they chop up all the goodies and how careful they are at the hot stove cooking it all together. Great Job Chefs!

Science or Magic?

 

We finished off February with quite a bang on an outing to the Cape Town Science Centre. It was an incredible experience getting to explore and enjoy all the different scientific apparatuses, virtual reality, real-life experiments and fun learning that the centre had to offer. Yes it was science but I'm sure we can all agree it came with just a touch of magic too.

Banana Banana! MEATBALL!

 

How it warms the heart to see the learners partaking in a silly little jingle altogether and having so much fun with it. Needless to say, we all felt like meatballs for dinner and maybe a banana split for dessert? 

World Read Aloud Day

 

Today was World Read Aloud Day so we decided it would be wonderful to see our Senior Learners pair with our Juniors to practice reading out loud. It was a really great idea because everyone had fun taking turns to read even if it was just the pictures!

Boerewors, Burgers and Besties!!!

 

Braai-Masters, Boerewors and Burgers - The Three B's and what could be better? Maybe Fun, Friendship and Food? The Braai Day was a resounding success with great food and even better company. An enormous thank you to Paul Teubes for donating the meat, rolls, drinks and condiments and for spoiling our learners.

Last Ride of the Term

Today all the SARDA riders went to visit SARDA to say our goodbyes as it was our final lesson for the year.

Our wonderful parents sent donations to school for a collection for our hard working horses. We proudly handed this bundle over to teacher Teri, who will use the money to buy special horse biscuits that the steeds will enjoy during their Christmas holidays.

Thank you to our generous parent body and THANK YOU to our wonderful volunteers!

Keeping it green

 

Many hands make light work.

Watering plants is a vital part of plant care that helps ensure they stay healthy and thrive.

It was an easy day for the juniors, who sailed through taking care of and watering the plants.

I'll Give you a Pizza my Heart!

 

Has making pizza ever been so much fun? When your recipes are just 2 ingredients long instead of 20, it can turn a potentially daunting task like making dough into a fun and simple thing. The senior class thoroughly enjoyed their food skills lesson today and what a skill to have... Pizza for supper tonight anyone?

Check this tech savvy bunch, engrossed in their comuter work with Teacher Cody in the computer lab:

Not all sports happen outside...

 

During "Mentor" period today, one of our senior learners opted to play E Games while others favoured the varying physical options. Sure looks like he had fun!

New Friends and Stories? What a Day!

 

WOW! The Interact Club came to read to our learners today and it was a truly special experience. Some firm favourites were chosen immediately by some of our girls, bringing smiles and even a few heartfelt tears to some Grade 9 faces. The fact that they want to come join us for more of our fun lesson times was the icing on the cake! 

Taking Over the... Day (one timetable at a time)

 

Every morning, our junior learners take turns reading the timetable and letting everyone know what's happening in the day - and if the teachers forget... no problem! There’s always someone to step in and remind us. It's a fun little routine we all look forward to.... if the "Pick me's" and "Can I read's?" are anything to go by!

The Biggest Walk and even Bigger Boxes!

 

The Big Walk was a huge success this year. Our Mystery Box stole the show, drawing in many a walker big and small, all trying to figure out what was inside. It was such fun seeing all the learners outside of the classroom and hearing their excitement when they caught sight of us in our bright yellow bibs was fantastic! Thank you to everyone for all your amazing contributions. We are all in agreement that we have the most wonderful parents (and kids) in the school and as such, the best submission to the raffle.

Table Cricket at Vista Nova

 

On Thursday 14 August, we rallied our forces for a spectacular day/competition at Vista Nova competing against the home teams and two other schools. We were even extra spoiled by getting to enjoy the playground at the venue. Needless to say the kids had a whale of a time!
