Soul 2 Soul

The Grade 6 & 7’s in the After Care are collecting shoes for the Arise Ministry in Natal. Their aim is 600 pairs of shoes. It would be appreciated if you would drop off your donation of gently worn shoes to the After Care by 20 May 2011.

Children's Art Exhibition

Please come and support your child.  The class with the highest attendance will be treated to a Wimpy ice cream during the following week.  Let's show our kids that we are proud of them and their artistic abilities.

Farewell message from Grade 2W

Isn't this a cute idea.... the pupils in Grade 2W made posters for two of their classmates who left at the end of last term.  Each child wrote a personal note.... very touching.

Now this is what makes our school a family.... keep it up.

Easter Celebration

Our Easter Celebration was definitely a huge success.... for the pupils who took part, those who attended and even for the parents to see and hear what the children have been up to.

Rhino Coin Collection and civvies

On the last day of term 1, the kids had lots of fun putting out their coins in the shape of a rhino... all in the name of conservation. Unfortunately we don't have a photo of the final product.

Well done to everyone involved in a successful fundraiser for a worthy cause.

Numberwise

Our school has registered each pupil to use Numberwise to help improve mental maths skills.  The program is free and can be used at home.  If you need help with downloading and installing, please speak to Mrs Tschohl.

The maths computer programme is running well, with the children taking a keen interest in competing against both themselves and each other. The hope of a prize is also very inspiring. There has already been an improvement in the children’s mental maths.

The one thing we are missing is sponsorship. This is needed at two different levels.

The Championship Prize at school level: A child enters for this prize by doing 1 or more Numeracy Olympiad drills. The winner is the student with the fastest time during the year. We are looking for a sponsor who would be prepared to donate a cell phone, ipod, laptop, software or some such item for this prize to be awarded at the end of the year.

The Grand Prize at school level is to reward the consistent use of Numberwise. A child is entered if he or she does 100 or more calculations in a day. The daily winner is chosen randomly from the pool of entries. Sponsorship at this level could be air time, stationery, etc.

If you or your company is interested in sponsoring our students in their endeavour to improve their
mental maths, please would you contact Tracy Tschohl on 084 408 0169 or the school office.
