GRADE 5 COMIC STRIPS
The Grade 5 boys have enjoyed interpreting visual comprehensions during English lessons. The Calvin and Hobbes comic strips series have been a firm favourite. Drawing inspiration from the Calvin and Hobbes series, the boys were tasked with creating their own comic strip. They needed to base their cartoon on a funny event that took place in their life. Overall, the boys produced the most outstanding comics. They used creativity, intuition and humour to entertain their class.
WELCOME BACK CELEBRATION
The staff missed their boys so much that they decided to host a Welcome Back Party, with Ridgie, colourful clowns, balloons and, of course, hot chocolate as a special treat.

JP TEACHERS WORKING ONLINE
Our Junior Prep Staff in action online! It takes a special teacher to make learning fun yet meaningful and we seem to have a whole bunch of special teachers! Well done, team.
CENTENARY GIFT TO APPS
To celebrate Auckland Park Prep School’s centenary and the long standing relationship The Ridge and St Katharine’s share, we presented “The masked weaver in a upside down world” sculptured by Robert Leggat.

The Ridge and St Katharine’s wish’s APPS good fortune and prosperity as they celebrate their centenary in these challenging times.

GRADE 1 ART
The boys learnt about the ocean and all its inhabitants. Thereafter, the boys were tasked with creating their favourite sea creature. The famous clown fish, Nemo seemed to be a favourite amongst the boys.

The JP staff have braved the early morning cold to ensure all our boys are screened as they come in. Well done team. Left to right – Zoe Zuke, Symon Karan, Mokgantsho Matsela and Masana Maringa on Grade 0 early morning screening duty!
GRADE 2’s LEARNT ABOUT TIME
The boys had an exciting consolidation exercise on the concept of Time by jumping around the floor clock to show the time. This exercise also proved to be the best way to warm up on a chilly morning. They had such fun!
