Last Friday children had to decorate their shoes for a shoe parade.  The following shoe were Before Care School children’s shoes. Left hand is a first grader!

Today they are having a Scooter competition. All had to make up their scooters and bring them to school.

Here is one of my before school care girls. Also a starter. She was crying this morning because her balloons did not want to stay up in the air! She drew cat faces on the balloons last night. Had a hard time to get her over it. At the end, all went well and she was happy to go on.

Here is the other girl from the first graders  who also brought her scooter.

    Lovely to see your children and grownups having so much fun. A lot of time and effort has gone into the trainer créations, they’re very well done.

      They all enjoy these challenges. Today they have someone with old bicycles and wooden carts to show the road and bicycle rules.

        They seem to have loads of ideas to keep the kids interested. That is great. They won’t be bored at all.

    It’s lovely to see such happy children. The shoe parade is a great idea, and so was the scooter decorating. It’s also nice for me to see kiddies playing in the sunshine. Your photos are beautiful and will hold such happy memories for you when you eventually leave the school.

      This school is like a big happy family. We see that they go outside to really play when the weather is good. Every afternoon I take them for a swim too. I discovered how to take photos with my phone which makes it much easier to quickly take a photo of all the action.

      Dis baie opwindend vir meeste kinders. Selfs die outjies wat nie versiersels het nie kry by die juffrou blik goedjies om mee te versier. Nie een voel uit omdat hul niks het nie.

          Dis regtig tropiese weer op die oomblik. Warm, drukkend en nat. Gelukkig is ons tussen die twee woeste storms soos n hamburger. Storm oorstroming, ons, storm oorstroming ! Paasnaweek het maar sleg afgeskop met die weer.

    I bet you get a lot of exercise watching over these kiddies. This school is definitely a first world dream – my daughter and I both immediately noticed how well cared for the kids are, the helmets and shoes, the neat playgrounds …

      It definitely is totally different from what I(and you) are used to. They don’t wear shool uniforms but they have to wear shoes on the playground. Everybody, meaning grown-ups included, are forced by law to wear helmets when cyclin.

        We also have laws with regard to wearing helmets, but people are blithely ignoring it – they know we don’t have the manpower to enforce the laws.

          Did not know that. Before 2009 nobody was wearing helmets to school?!

    Ag my moeder, die ou dogtertjie het seker in haar verbeelding gesien hoe vlieg die ballonne hoog bokant haar koppie. Gelukkig was jy daar om te troos. Onderwysers is sooo belangrik!

      Veral die heel kleintjies is so afhanklik van n “oppasser”, Die dogtertjie het aan die einde van die dag tussen die malende massa kinders gestaan op soek na haar scooter. Duimpie in mond trane wat loop. Toe sy my sien aankom hardloop sy voluit na my toe en gryp my vas. Sy was so bly om my te sien. Gelukkig het haar ma toe ook net daar aangekom en alles was weer reg.

          Dis beslis waar. Ek besef nou eers werklik hoe kosbaar die oomblikke is. Ek dink dis ook omdat ek nie meer regtig hoef voor te berei vir skoolhou en al daardie rompslomp nie. Ek kan nou elke oomblik indrink met kalmte en rustigheid en ook waardering.

      It is so important that they do things together. The older children had a sport day against other schools.
