GALA DATES FOR TERM 4:
Please click on the link for any swimmers who wear glasses and would like to be able to see clearly both under the water and above https://www.eyecansea.co.za/ One of our Grade 3 swimmers has a pair and is very happy to be able to see her coaches clearly as well as swim underwater with confidence!
The private extra-mural service providers normally offer 8 lessons per term, starting in the second week of term and ending in the second last week. The 4th term is however shorter so some private extra-murals might only have 7 lessons or some might start in the first week back. They have been asked to liaise directly with you, but if you are unsure, please check with them directly.
YOGA
There are still spaces available in the yoga classes. There is no Grade 3-7 session this term due to too few pupils. If the interest and numbers improve, we will re-introduce the lesson.
Our U11, U12 and U13 swimmers hard at work at early morning training this week!
The Term 3 Lion Inside award goes to a girl who is recognised for her warm, embracing and friendly nature, and her instinctual and perceptive understanding of the feelings and needs of others. Rather than judge her peers for any wrongdoing, she will try to put herself in their shoes, and look for the good qualities in that person, instead of focusing on the negative. She notices when someone is feeling left out, and will go out of her way to make them feel included. Congratulations to Annabelle Rowe, who is the worthy recipient.
The Grade 4s are creating comic books about being an Online Bully Upstander on Book Creator!
Thank you to everyone for their support at the annual De Grendel Walk. The weather was perfect and the views as beautiful as always. Congratulations to the Grade 3s who won the class competition for the most participants on the day.
Thursday was a glorious day and the Grade 3s took advantage of it by visiting the ‘Class in the Clouds’ on the top of Table Mountain. They learnt some interesting facts about the mountain and especially enjoyed seeing one lonely dassie. They were very excited that Ms Gray could join them in the cable car ride.
Grade 4s creating their own fraction set. The smallest fraction achieved was 1/2048. That was a lot of folding!
