Although winter seems to have arrived a little earlier this year, the chilly air certainly did not dampen the excitement and enthusiasm of our Grade 0 Frogs and Chameleons as they arrived for their very special Mums’ Evening. Warm smiles, eager faces, and a sense of wonder filled the Pre-School as children arrived hand-in-hand with their moms, ready for an evening filled with creativity, laughter, and precious memories.
On Wednesday, 6 May, the Grade 3s left for an adventurous school trip to Zingela. After arriving at our drop-off point, we set off on a 9 km hike down into the Zingela Valley and towards the Tugela River. Some children had to dig deep and keep walking despite muddy shoes, hungry tummies, and tired legs. Three hours later, we arrived at James Camp and enjoyed a delicious burger for lunch. Making the fire and potjie was the group task for the evening, and the meal was scrumptious.

On Friday, 1 May, the long-awaited Titanic Day finally arrived, serving as the grand finale to the Grade 3s' recent theme. The morning kicked off with a thoughtful assembly by Mrs Venter’s class, which cleverly linked the ship’s history with the concept of selective attention—a wonderful reflection of the mindfulness we strive for at Clifton.
