That time of year that parents enjoy so much has arrived... Test Week!!

Please do not panic. It is not the do or die time that many parents think it is. It is not a pass or fail situation in that if your child fails, they fail the year, but obviously, we all want them to do well.

Test week will begin on the week of the 16th of March. It will cover all work done this term up to the 9th of March. There will be the following tests:

  • Maths
  •  Mental Maths
  •  Afrikaans
  •  English Comprehension and Grammar
  •  Creative Writing
  •  Science
  •  Humanities (History and Geography) 

 The exact dates of these tests will be given by Monday next week. Good luck with the studying!

Learning Styles

Dear Parents With the implementation of your child’s learning styles profile in the classroom a number of changes will be implemented over the next few months. This will be in order for your child to learn more effectively, according to their learning style.  For some children snacking while they are concentrating on a task actually enhances their ability to stay focused. Your child will be allowed to bring in specific foods to snack on during allocated times in class.  As it is the physical act of their jaw moving, rather than the energy from the food that helps them to stay focused, the types of food you could pack include: biltong, nuts and hard fruits (apples, carrots etc), food that is healthy and requires a lot of chewing. Please ensure that these snacks are packed into a container separate from their normal lunch.
