Competitions really inspires everyone. We cannot underestimate how it builds a positive classroom community. It helps to strengthen parent-teacher and learner-teacher relationships. The participation from the children helps develop problem-solving skills. It also brings out skills, talents, gifts, and creativity that may not have seen within traditional classroom projects. I’m certain you may have noticed that it builds confidence in children that may have previously been reticent to get involved. Competition brings out the best in people and pushes them to excel.
As we fly through Term 3, our Grade 2 pupils have been learning about one of the most exciting, interesting and relevant topics: “Transport”. Learners were tasked with creating a 3D model of their favourite mode of transport and had to tell their fellow classmates why their chosen mode was their favourite.
Grand entries, clowns, magic and comedic rola-bola was the order of the day! CityKidz celebrated the onset of Spring by having a special Civvies Circus Day. The event was a colourful pageant with all the circus goers dressing in full circus regalia.
Our Grade R learners learned to recognize and make sounds of various animals during their Animals Theme Week in Term. Together with their families, they made the most creative animal masks.
Grade R learners enjoyed the horse ride and commented how very big he was! Pappa Lloyd looked very comfortable on the big horse when it was his turn! Grade RR learners enjoyed the train ride, waving to everyone in sight! If you looked carefully, you would have spotted Ma'am King and Ma'am Fatima on the train! The learners got to see ducks, chickens, sheep and noisy goats.
