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.
Our Grade 5s set off for their first camping trip of the year on Wednesday the 6 May. We travelled in a large Maharaj bus, which was, for some, a first and special experience. On arrival. 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.
As part of the Grade 5 Social Sciences curriculum, our boys and girls have been exploring the diverse continent of Africa, focusing specifically on South Africa’s profound history and cultural heritage. This year, our journey began with an in-depth study of the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela.
Our Grade 6 and 7 children recently participated in a valuable Study Skills Workshop led by Kath Cass. The session focused on helping children understand not just what to learn, but how learning actually takes place.
