Quarter 2 Newsletter 2024

9 This initiative not only brought comfort and fun but also taught our children the importance of supporting and uplifting others. International Children's Day was celebrated with a cup of delicious hot chocolate, a delectable S'more biscuit, and some special soft friends as company. All children, regardless of their gender, age, nationality, or ability, are protected by the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Unicef, 2008, has a child-friendly version of these rights: The Enchanted Ozland Concert A special highlight was our "Enchanted Ozland" concert, a magical prelude to the Wizard of Oz performance that the Secondary Faculty is preparing for July. The children showcased their talents and brought enchantment to the stage, we are so proud of them! Don’t forget to book your tickets for the Wizard of Oz in July! Virtual Bake Along with Chef Kerry We wrapped up the quarter with a delightful virtual bake-along session hosted by Chef Kerry. Families joined in from their kitchens, creating scrumptious Rice Krispy treats. It was a wonderful way to connect and share the joy of baking, and we hope those treats will sweeten your holiday season! As we approach the winter break, we wish all our families a restful and joyous holiday. If you are travelling, please stay safe and enjoy your adventures. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Wednesday, 10 July, refreshed and ready for another exciting quarter. CRACKERJACKS Erin Liggett, Nadine Fourie, Shannon Marx and Chloe Mathee Our Crackerjacks have been incredibly busy during our Autumn Quarter! The fun and learning in our unit have been boundless. We are so proud of our eager learners and their enthusiasm for exploring and investigating new things. The Petting Zoo was, as always, a massive hit with both teachers and children. It was heartwarming to see how gently the Crackers handled the various animals that visited us. This visit perfectly complemented our animal themes this quarter. In the classroom, we explored wild animals, pets, farm animals, and the wonders of Autumn. Each morning, the children eagerly ran to the window to see the weather before discussing it with their teachers on the mat. We learned many delightful songs and rhymes, with PRE-PRIMARY FACULTY GRADES 0000 - R . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . From the Principal’s Office Riette Pieterse As the leaves have turned and we embrace the crispness of autumn, we are delighted to reflect on the wonderful experiences and cherished memories of our second quarter here at Christopher Robin Pre-Primary. It has been a vibrant and activity-filled period, and we are excited to share the highlights with you. World Book Day was a huge success! The children brought their favourite book characters to life with fantastic costumes, sparking imagination and joy throughout the school. A special thank you to the Book People for organizing a delightful book sale, and encouraging our little ones to develop a love for reading. Mother's and Father's Day was celebrated with heartfelt enthusiasm. The children poured their creativity into crafting beautiful items and cards, showing their appreciation and love. It was heart warming to see the pride in their eyes as they presented their handmade gifts. Reach For a Dream's Slipper Day In support of the Reach For a Dream Foundation, was filled with the cosy charm of children and staff dressed in their slippers and pyjamas.
