Casual Day a Great Success

Today we all had a lot of fun dressing up with 'bling' to enjoy Casual Day. The proceeds of well over R4000 will be going to Logwood Village to support the people there.

Parenting in the Digital Age

Tips from Author Nikki Bush on parenting in the digital age:

• Show an active interest in their children’s technology journey
• Overcome their own technophobia
• Interact with technology and social networks themselves
• Keep perspective about the positive potential of technology as well as the downsides
• Invest in their relationships with their children – this takes time and energy
• Stay awake, alert and conscious, without hysterically hovering

Keep an eye open for Nikki's new book Tech-Savvy Parenting, being launched on Monday 11 August.

Grandparents' Day in Grade R!

There was great excitement in Grade R at NWCS as the grandparents arrived and took their places in the hall to enjoy the programme prepared for them by the Grade R children and teachers. After the performance, the grandparents were invited back to the classrooms to sit with the children while they decorated framed photos of themselves for their grandparents. A sumptuous tea was provided by the PTA and was enjoyed by all.

ASCENSION DAY

On Ascension Day we met on the field at the beginning of school to remember the day Jesus returned to heaven to sit at the right hand of God. As a representation of this, 7 purple helium balloons were released and we watched them as they rose up to the clouds.
