SAFETY FIRST
As discussed at the info evening we would like all children at our school to be registered at Crisis on Call. Many of our parents have been requesting the forms. We are just waiting for the balance of the forms as we did not receive enough for the entire school. As soon as they have arrived we will send everything home. Mr Bekker will be at
school every Thursday from 10:00 if you have any difficulties in
completing the forms. Just a reminder that the cost is R99 pm for an entire family.

ATHLETICS, ATHLETICS ……. SEE HOW THEY RUN!!
It was an absolute delight to watch our children run, jump and throw on Thursday afternoon. They made us proud with their outstanding performances! A huge thank you needs to go out to Sir Ken for the outstanding, effortless determination he has put into coaching our children with the correct technique. Looking at the scoreboard this coaching has definitely paid off! Thank you to Mam Liandri who liased with Zwartkop to make the event possible.

AFTERCARE
Please note that children still at school after 14:00 who are not busy with a extra mural activity will be absorbed by the aftercare and parents will be billed accordingly.
WHAT IS ALL THAT NOISE…?!
The English challenge this year for Gr 5-7 was rather a noisy one, involving balloons. Towers were built and measured amidst much fun and shouts as the “building” balloons popped and floated about. The Grade 4’s had a quieter but just as thought-provoking task to complete with their “paper towers”.
Challenges are put to the children every year as a reminder that with the right attitude that which seems impossible becomes “I’m-possible”!
