Summer Time

Now that summer is here we have incorporated water play onto the playground.
The children are exploring with the concepts of floating and sinking. It is also very calming and refreshing and loved by all...

Fourth Term

It is crazy to think that we are well into the fourth term of the year.

It is so special to watch and see how much the children have grown and developed over the year.

The Parshios of each week have kept us very busy. They are filled with wonderful stories that the children have been drinking up!!!! Our crafts have been based on each week's Parsha. They have thoroughly enjoyed learning all about Avraham and Sarah!!!!!

We have concentrated on the wonderful Midos that Avraham showed, Hachnosas Orchim and doing whatever Hashem asked of him!!!
The children have been drawing pictures of different ideas related to each Parsha and I am sure you are getting a lot of nachas seeing how much their drawing skills have improved!!!!!!

We are now working on assessments working towards our end-of-year reports.

We are going to start rehearsing for our end-of-year interactive Chanuka morning which will PG take place on the 30th of November. Make sure to diarize the date!!!!!

Looking forward to sharing more nachas with you!!!!!!!

As part of our Mitvah train project we decided to do a science experiment. We wanted to see how yeast makes the dough rise and so we placed yeast, warm water and a little bit of sugar into a bottle and placed a balloon on the top of the bottle. We left the bottle for a couple of hours and were then really excited to see that the yeast had pushed the air up in the bottle and caused the balloon to inflate!!!! What a lot of fun!!!!!!

We have now completed our Mitzvah train project. Our class covered the mitzvos of Challah, Shabbos candles, Yarmulka and Tzitzis. We really enjoyed creating our mitzva train.

What a busy term we are having.
The other day we read a book called The Topsy Turvey's which the children thoroughly enjoyed. We decided to have some fun with this and the children each drew a topsy turvey picture.

Here Yakira drew the head in the middle of the body.

Shalom drew arms coming out the head and hair coming out the body! All the pictures were really creative.

In last weeks Parsha we learned about Kosher. Here we discussed that a fish needs fins and scales to be kosher.

Aaron acts out one of the signs for an animal to be kosher- it needs to chew its cud. The other sign is it needs to have split hooves.

Thank you to all those parents who came to our interviews!!!!! It was wonderful to be able to share the nachas with you!!! For those of you who were unable to attend, please feel free to contact me to schedule a time.

Thanks, have a good Shabbos and Viva Bafana!!!!!!!

It is hard to believe that we are already nearly half way through the school year. It is amazing to observe how much the children have grown and developed!!

We have still been very busy with our assessments for Parents Interviews which will PG take place next Wednesday the 9th of June between 2:00 and 6:00. If you ahve not already chosen a time slot, please do so by filling your name in on the form hanging on our classroom door. The interviews will each take 15 minutes and if there is anything you wish to discuss or questions you would like to ask, please come to the interview with them so that we do not run overtime. If you feel there is something that you would like to discuss that will take longer than that, please contact me to arrange another time to meet.

The children are all very excited with the upcoming World Cup and we have continued discusssing our country and talking about Hachnosas Orchim, welcoming guests to our country.We have also been talking about Achdus and being unified.

As the weather has turned really cold, please ensure that your children come to school dressed warmly. TG our classroom is very warm but the children need an extra layer to put on for when we go outside to play.

Looking forward to seeing you at Parents Interviews next week PG.

Hve a wonderful week!!!!
