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.
