Post FUN day Monday blues....

Hi everyone,

Thanks to all you supported and participated in the school's Fun Day, Car Boot Sale and Car Wash! It was an amazing day and all the kids had a great time. Thanks to all the organisers, you are a winning team!!
It's Monday....the start of a brand new week and a brand new month....November! The countdown to year end is unofficially under way, or so it seems to me. Lots to still get through....teachers are hard at work with reports and our kids are creating art for our ordered calendars! Our school recipe book is almost done and will be on sale soon - a definite one for the Christmas stocking!
Please check out our updated gallery which contains some group photos of our kids in the concert - a dvd with all the photos and the video is available at Nakop Technology, please support Tammy. She is a wonderful lady who really goes out of her way to support our school and community.
Next is the grade R graduation and their concert, all the best to them and the teachers!
Our Fun Day photos will also be available soon...watch this space!
God bless, lots of love xx your "Blogger Mom" C xx

August 2013 Update

We're almost through the worst of winter and are enjoying the beautiful sunny weather! We stay in such an amazing place.

On Friday, 2 August, we held our annual "Slipper Day" in support of Reach for a Dream foundation and managed to raise R670! The kids and teachers all had a great time wearing their slippers to school for the day. Something I personally wish we could do EVERY day.......
Just before the long weekend, on Thursday, 8 August, the kids were entertained by a Safari Fun Puppet Show. The valuable lessons they learn through events like these are priceless. Some little ones were seen picking up litter outside the Primary school declaring that they were saving the animals! Well done Pippa and Kats!! You are shining examples to us.
We're all back at school now and looking forward to the rest of the term, which includes Grandparents Day and the Yellow, Red and Blue Group's concert on Thursday, 12 September. School will close on Friday, 20 September and there will be NO aftercare that day.
All the best everyone. Take a look at our new Slipper Day fun photos in the gallery! God bless you all. xx

May 2013 Update

During the month of May, we had visits from the Department of Health (for Measles vaccines and Polio drops) and from the Audiologist to test new children's hearing.
May also saw the arrival of our newest honorary staff member, young Taylor, a beautiful miracle baby born to Amanda, Alan and Mikayla Oosthuizen. Congratulations!!
We also hosted our annual find raising event - the Golf Day on 25 May 2013, an awesome day with great weather, excellent sponsorship and wonderful sporting golf!
The day was held at the beautiful Mtunzini Country Club and saw a full field of golfers enjoying the day. Thanks to all our sponsors, golfers and spectators for making this event spectacular! Thanks also to our awesome parents who supported us by selling raffle tickets, preparing snacks, working in the kitchens, at the registration table, etc. doing all those jobs necessary for the event to run as smooth as clockwork. Thanks also to an amazing team of dedicated committee members - Wow! Great job!!

April 2013 Update

Hi everyone,
Well done to all who participated in the annual BEACH Walk (2013 04 12)! The walk was postponed by two days due to miserable weather, but this proved to be a blessing as the beach sand was lovely and firm to walk on after the rain. It was a lovely day - beautiful sunshine, perfect conditions!
One of our eager little girls remarked upon arriving at the top of the dune by the beach and setting eyes on the ocean: "Wow! Miami!" 
Everyone completed the FAST walk (3.5km) -  from the lagoon main parking area to dog beach, along the beach to the main beach boardwalk and then through the forest road back to dog beach entrance to the final forest walk to the lagoon. We managed to raise an amazing total of R5500! This will be put to good use on various upgrade projects at the school. Please see photos in the gallery. Also updated in the gallery are photos of a science visit by Georg Passler (2013 02 28) and the Grand Opening of the Putt-putt course by Mr Mervin Wallace (2013 03 06).
Further news is that plans are underway for our MAJOR fundraiser of the year, our annual Golf Day! This event is scheduled for Saturday, 25 May 2013. Looking forward to the event!
Have a great April month and chat again soon!

March 2013 update

Hello everyone,
Can't believe that we're already in the month of March! Weather is starting to change....things are cooling down a little. We've had an eventful term so far with lots of fun activities including a puppet show, visit from our local and new Mommy at our school, Dr Karen Vivier and Valentine's Day! Check out the photos in the gallery. Our annual AGM was held last week and a NEW chairperson was elected for the governing body - Lisa Moyes and Vice-Chairman - Quentin Vivier. All the best to you both and also a welcome to all the governing body members! Thanks to all parents for their support and involvement!
Till next time. Stay safe and enjoy life!!

We ended the year of 2012 with lots of activities including our Grade R graduation on 30 November (lots of proud parents and youngsters attended)! Well done boys and girls and good luck with the new challenges facing all of you.

We also held our Christmas Party and all the kids enjoyed the treats and their special gifts.

The Playball group also held their year-end certificate ceremony and proudly showed off their sporting talents learned throughout the year to family and friends.

Our Aftercare also closed off for the year. Thanks to Bonnie for all your dedication and enthusiasm!

Hope that everyone is well rested and looking forward to another great year at our wonderful school!
