GRADE 1s CELEBRATING VALENTINE’S DAY

The Grade 1s made Valentine’s Day cards for the Estate staff. The boys  had lots of fun making cards and sharing the love and then presented the cards to Chris Perumal and Martha Skhosana to give to their team.

Kids’ Lit Quiz

Below are the results of the Lit Quiz competition:

Team 1: Connor Leech, Abdullah Navlakhi, Vashiv Naidoo and Kabir Budlender came in 8th place.

Team 2: Matthew Thomson, Robert Steyn, Michael Jeong and Connor van der Walt came in 14th place.

A special mention to the three reserves: William Boland, Nyiko Mabunda and Ethan Steyn, they also participated in the quiz and they jumped in to help the St John’s boys collect answer sheets in between every round.

All of these boys showed the Right Stuff and we are proud of their results.

Well done boys!!!

The Grade 0 boys spent the week learning about bugs, recognising colours and building puzzles.
