The Ridge Reporter

THE GRADE 7 THEME FOR THE WEEK IS

WAR LITERATURE

The Grade 7 boys took time to think and complete a Visual Think Strategy about war and how it would feel leaving home, possibly forever. They considered duty, integrity and honour and what it meant to them.

GRADE 3 MR MEN DAY

SHROVE TUESDAY

For Shrove Tuesday boys enjoyed making pan cakes and showing their master chef skills.

STEAM

The boys were tasked to design a 2D version of the Eco house they intend to build. After creating two views of the building, they set about using Minecraft to adapt their plan to a 3D coded version.

ART COMPETITION

Several Grade 4 artists were entered into a literary art competition. They had to imagine and draw the fantasy creature ‘Krakobek’ from local author and old Ridge boy Hamilton Wende’s latest book, Arabella, the Secret King and the Amulet from Timbuktu. Five of our boys, together with 25 children from other schools, were shortlisted and came very close to winning. They were Harrison Pettit, William Wadman, Lunga Mntambo, Joshua Ferreira and Ethan Burrell.
