Food skills are skilling....

 

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

Celebrating World Book Day 🤟🤓 📚

"The more that you read, the more things you'll know. The more that you learn , the more places you'll go." - Dr. Suess

This famous quote rings eternal especially on a day like today. We all took the time to appreciated books and book characters today. Did you?

Campfire Games...

 

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

Birthday Bash

 

Happy Birthday to you Erin and a huge thank you for the time and effort spent in making the spaghetti for us and celebrating your special day with us, the kids loved it! 

"I was totally overwhelmed by the showering of love and spoils but what made my day was seeing the picky eaters lick their plates clean! I love my SNU family and thank you for treating me." - Love Teacher Erin ❤️

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.

Wisha Washa - It's washing time!

 

When reading and spelling becomes a chore 😜... It's one way to get the kids to do washing! In English we learnt about syllables and how many claps are in a word. Don't be surprised when your child is clapping out ra - coon and e-le-phant while they're helping you with the laundry...

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.

Abra Kadabra... It's MAGIC time!!

 

Today a past learner, Carlo Penso, visited the unit from the School of Magic to put on a spectacular magic show. Needless to say our learners were enthralled and it was such a hit. A huge thank you to Carlo for his wonderful demonstration and for giving us just a touch of magic to brighten up our day.

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?

These Buns aren't from any Bakery I've ever seen...

 

I'm not sure if everyone phoned each other this morning but the rest of us certainly missed the memo because all these angels swapped their halos for a bun today... And it wasn't even the teachers that noticed it!

Birthday Twins

 

To our Caring and Fierce Leader, a very happy birthday. We are so happy to share your special day with you. Your strength, wisdom and unmatchable humor make you so valuable to us. Thank you to our amazing parents who helped us celebrate our Fantastic Director.

Happy Birthday Teacher Clare—may your year be filled with adventure, peace, and God’s blessings every hour.

We love you 😍

Happy Birthday to our fellow August birthday girl as well - the day was extra special getting to share it with someone. Thank you for your birthday cupcakes to celebrate you!

Our party was such fun with our kids managing to keep it secret until the very last, a surprise visit from Teacher Erin who came to join us and delicious treats to share.

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?

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 "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!

Don't Rain on my Parade!

 

Even when it's raining and pouring, we won't let the old man's snoring stop us from having fun. Some of the junior class enjoying catching those elusive bubbles during inside break... 

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!
