Grade 4 - 7 SEL Workshops: 19 + 25 June
Self-Regulation has been our CEA tool for the latter part of the semester. It was heartening to spend two mornings discussing this with the Grade 4 - 7 cohort, delving deeper into why self-regulation (and co-regulation) are so relevant and vital, particularly at the stage of the year when pressures and demands may be mounting.

As is becoming customary, the Grade 6 & 7 children and teachers took a well-deserved stroll to Cliff's Dam to blow off some steam, reconnect with one another, and be reminded to keep their chins and eyes turned upwards. With a delicious snack to enjoy at the water's edge while watching the world go by, it was soon time to gather belongings and head back to beloved Clifton, with a fresh bounce in the step. Our thanks to Mr and Mrs Greene for allowing us to visit Cliff's Dam once again.

Grade 6 + 7 Outdoor Learning Day: 17 June
The River Wye in the UK inspired this term's Outdoor Learning Day. Over the years, the Wye has gone from being the 'poster boy' of British rivers to falling victim to pollution and degradation, and then being resurrected by the sustained efforts of a group of caring individuals. Its case made its way to the British Parliament, and the river has since been granted rights - a lovely idea for Clifton to follow.
Grade 4 Trip to Nyala Pans: 13 - 15 May
Grade 4 Trip to Nyala Pans: 13 - 15 May
The Grade 4s headed off to Nyala Pans, and what a trip it was! From the moment we arrived and saw that beautiful valley, we knew we were in for a treat.
The water activities are always a massive hit. The river was at a perfect level for rafting, and swimming and building dams in the sand. Of course, the 5-metre courage jump was the real talk of the camp! We saw plenty of brave faces (and heard some very loud screams of glee) as the adrenaline junkies went back for second and third time.

Tikey O’Dell and his team of facilitators from ‘The Farm’ were standing ready to welcome us to camp. We tumbled out the bus and were helped to find our luggage, off-load it and carry it.
