Spring is in the air!  We are grateful for the sunny days, it was a cold and wet season at the school!

Outings

We had some interesting events lately!  On 31 August we invited three other farm schools in the area to enjoy a puppet show with us. We hope to build a relationship with these schools and also make a difference in their lives. The UCSA  team (United Christian Student Association) shared a Biblical message and a puppet show and the children had lots of fun with the guests.

Fire-brigade

On 3 and 4 September the junior class and Grade R class visited the Strand Fire station.  The firemen explained the fire-fighter’s gear and equipment and gave us a glimpse of a day in their shoes. We were so proud of our learners when they recited the emergency number and safety lessons taught at school.  The children took a drive in the fire trucks and sprayed water with a fire-hose.  It was a memorable event.  Thank you to all the staff at the station.  We honor your commitment and service to the community.

Halli visit

Halli, the mascot visited our school.  This time he talked about road safety.  Heidi Naude and her mascot have created a wonderful platform for learning and Halli has grown into a true “super-hero” who teaches moral values and a balanced lifestyle.

Stop hunger Now event 17 September

We are fortunate to be a part of the Stop Hunger Now event at Life church. It is a volunteer based meal packing event and their vision is a Southern Africa without hunger. Last year we were able to help families from the community with these nutritional meals.  Fun#feedingahungrychild
