Happy Birthday Teacher Clare!

 

Happy Birthday to our fearless leader and the captain of our SNU ship! All of us here in the unit wish you the best of days with many more to come. May God shower you with blessings and continue to help you thrive.

Mighty Walkers Assemble!

 

The big walk finally arrived and thank goodness for the nice weather that wasn't too hot nor too cold which made up for all the miserable weather of previous years. It was so fun seeing how excited the kids were when they saw us marshalling with our bibs and flags. It was especially fun when we ended up blocking a whole corner of the common to grab that special pic (photo to come). It was a great event with soccer, basketball, netball, concerts and performances and of course hearing that one of our learners won our Mystery Box!  

It's that BIG time of the year...

 

It's the Big Walk on Saturday! Look out for your teachers along the common, we'll be the ones shouting and waving our flags for the intrepid walkers... Thank you for all the contributions so far to our mystery box hamper and looking forward to showing the rest of the school how awesome our parents are and that we are the best classes in the school!

Little "Messis" in training...

 

Training Day saw our learners having fun with 'the beautiful game' and practising some drills... Messi, you better watch out... The SNU are coming for the title!

A Birthday Surprise 🎈🎉🥳

Many blessings to this fine young gentleman! Happy birthday! 

Thank you for sharing your day with us!

Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika...

 

Just like before every soccer game, we kicked off our day yesterday before our soccer drills with learning and singing our National Anthem. We were very impressed with how much the learners already knew!

End of Term World Cup Kick Off ⚽

 

Champagnat lives in us....

 

In the words of our school song, Marcellin Champagnat truly was a gift to the world and certainly to us as we try to follow his way and our Marist Values. The learners enjoyed their Champagnat day treats and the fun and games that came with it... Happy Champagnat Day!

Another Succecssful Table Cricket Tournament

The term is off to a wonderful start! We have just returned from the first Table Cricket tournament for term2! A small team went to play in a tounament at Newlands Stadium of course. And we returned WINNERS! Our team were the first to win the Table Cricket Spirit Award. We could not be more proud! And the award more fitting.

Let's Pitch a tent and Floaties too...

 

We put all our fun lessons and information gathering about camping to good use and built our own tents and campfires. Although the weather didn’t allow us to fully enjoy our splashtastic day, the learners still had plenty of fun creating and decorating their own swimming pools and floaties. We hope this helped make up a little for the disappointment of not being able to jump in the water 🙂

Campfire Games...

 

We had such fun playing some outdoor games and even some indoor ones "pretending" we were around a campfire.

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.

Spot the difference

 One of the junior classes highlights is our twice weekly Junior School break. We join their peers in the foundation phase for second break. We are often welcomed by a group of kids, waiting for our visit. Looking from the outside in, I am always amazed to see this inclusion in action. No one is telling them what to do, kids just all speak the same language! 

See if you can find the special needs kids in this picture...it's really hard to do! They just look like  group of foundation phase learners , making the best of their break time ❤️

V Day Ball💖💃

 Our senior class learners went into Valentines Day with a bang. They all danced their socks off at the Senior School Valentines Ball. Just look at them! They grow up so fast 😍😎💖💃
