Howick Pre-Primary's little one's put on their year end concert, a Musical entitled 'Rock around the Flock' at Howick Preparatory School Hall recently. What a delightful display of enthusiasm and a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas. Well done to the stars of the show and of course the dedicated staff who put together the show.
Also at the Pre Primary this term is Splashy Fun Day. As the name portrays: lots of fun activities such as water play, slippery slide, coat yourself in goo and other activities which, the teachers know to be good clean child friendly fun. Of course a hot summers day will be welcome, as much as we are loving the Spring rains.
The Grade R children are looking forward to a trip to the KwaZulu Natal Museum. This is a theme related educational visit on dinosaurs and the children will also enjoy the natural history exhibitions.
Educate & Fascinate an Educational Presentation, is a fun, interactive, professional presentation by a Durban based company and this time is all about Christmas. The children have such fun with this interactive presentation, reinforcing our philosophy, that learning is fun.
They also look forward to their Grade R Graduation. This is both a proud moment and a sad moment as staff and parents congratulate the school leavers and bid them farewell from Howick Pre-Primary School. Many of the graduates re-visit the school and proudly tell of their progress at big school and beyond.
The Grade R Sleepover is a very exciting annual event for all the Grade R Learners and is a huge sacrifice for all the teachers. The children come to school in the evening, have pizzas for supper, fun and games with bicycles and torches, watch a DVD or two and then camp in their classrooms with their teachers – oh boy! Up early for breakfast and then home all exhausted. This is just some of the fun, growth and inspiration in the final term of the school year.
After all that, the Staff deserve a well-earned year end break, time to refresh and look forward to a very exciting new beginning, in 2014.
