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!

Stop and smell the roses...

 

Everything's coming up roses! Why not enjoy the good weather with a couple of flower selfies?

From Page to Stage...

The learners enjoyed story time read by a peer today. We got to work on our reading skills while also entertaining our friends. And who doesn't feel better after a hardy bow and a round of applause?

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! 

Hold em' & Fold em'

 

Mommies watch this space... Soon your children will be helping you fold - even the boys!

Table cricket tournament

Another stunning Table Cricket Tournament at the fields of Newlands Stadium. Thank you again, Lord Taverner's and the coaches at Sporting Chance for inculding us in this unique and empowering initiative. Please follow the link to view the gallery 

 

Trying new things

 

Trying new things is essential, as it helps us discover what we truly enjoy. One of our kids is currently learning a new instrument. He has demonstrated a wonderful willingness to explore and embrace new experiences. Keep it up!

Picture day!!!

 

Picture Day was a  delightful experience. The learners thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it! Smile !

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!

Live Concerts in the Park Anyone?

 

This week brings us the start of music week and we were so lucky to get to watch some dances and vocal performances while we went to the junior school break. They were enjoying the acts so much they almost forgot to eat their lunch.

Happy Birthday To You!

 

Happy Birthday to Roxy and a huge thank you for all the wonderful treats that made us all feel special with you on your special day. We loved getting to celebrate with you!

Did you say Sports Hub or Sports FUN?

 

Our first Sports Hub Session kicked off yesterday. Such troopers to be partaking amidst the very demanding heat. We can't wait to see more fun and sports learning as the term progresses.

How much is that "Horsey" in the Window...

 

After weeks of waiting desperately for SARDA to return, this week's group started us off with a bang with our new learner experiencing his first horse-riding lesson and getting to see all our two-legged and four-legged friends again. We look forward to our second group enjoying their session next week and to many more wonderful and beneficial lessons this term.

Junior Class Prize Giving 🥇

 

Our Junior Class were invited to participate in the Intermediate Prize Giving. It was a very fancy affair with trophies and prizes for all the top achievers in the school.

I was so proud of my class, who sat and clapped and were so sophisticated through out the event. When it was our turn, everyone cheered and was so proud of all of us. We got the loudest claps and cheers for our awards.

Congratulations on all your hard work and growth throughout this year. You are a remarkable bunch of young men and women. Well Done!
