Time flies when you are having so much fun at the farm school! We had a busy holiday program and we were blessed with wonderful learning experiences.
Spur @Waterstone Mall Somerset West
The junior class went on an outing to the Spur. Thank you to the Spur manager who gave us a discount for our ice-cream treat. The air was filled with giggles while the children enjoyed themselves.
Puppet show @ Strand
The Grade R class had a fun-filled day at the library. Thank you to Brenda from Kidz Giggles Entertainment for the puppet show. The children enjoyed some dancing, singing and stories. Brenda also came to the school to give us a free lesson about choices.
Fire brigade outing
We went on an educational outing to the fire brigade in Strand. The children’s faces lit up when they saw all the fire-engines and now everyone has a dream to become a fireman!
Play Therapist
We are so fortunate to have a play therapist, Lexi Norris, who volunteers her services on a weekly basis. We promote good behavior and therefore she has helped both classes with positive disciplinary systems. She serves the school with individual therapy sessions as well.
