Highlights of High Africa

By -
Last week from Wednesday to Friday, the Grade 5's went on camp to High Africa.
I found it really exciting getting to build a raft and go into the river. We had a lot of free time to swim in it as well. I really loved doing the low ropes or 'Long Walk to Freedom' as they call it. The leap of faith was very fun. When I started the jump it was scary and my reaction was priceless, but afterwards I realised how great it was. I was really enthralled by the rock climbing, but I only made it halfway. Another thing I really enjoyed, was participating in the potjie competition.
It was challenging working as a team for some of the activities like the rafting and the low ropes. Another challenge was having to deal with all the mosquitos in our cabin because nobody wanted me to spray the mosquito repellent. Camp was a fun experience with some challenges and I can't wait to go back to High Africa in Grade 7.

Instant Messaging Guidelines

In IT, we've been working on posters about instant messaging for the Grade fours as they have just started using iPads this year and are starting to experiment with Messages which has started a few situations as they don't really know how it works. Our posters provided information on instant messaging and how to use it correctly. Today the Pheasants came to the IT room with us for us to show them our posters and teach them about smart messaging. These posters taught them about tone, facial expression and how texting could go wrong. They learned a lot about messaging through these posters and hopefully we helped them be more clear with their messaging. Created using Google Drawings.

Disconnected

Annie and Sydney were inseparable. Together, they could do anything. They met when they were 5 and ever since then, they did everything together. That was until Sydney moved. At first Annie called her regularly, but soon they started drifting apart. Everything fell apart when the connection broke. The problem was that they were both too busy to call each other. One day Annie found the time to go shopping and there she was! Sydney was right there in front of her. They both couldn't believe their eyes, but they were overjoyed.

Lazy Saturday

By -
Elsie had enough of waking up early on Saturday mornings to go to gymnastics. This Saturday, she got to be lazy since there was no gymnastics.  She opened her kitchen cupboard  and she saw all the snacks in existence. After her ten minute spastic victory dance, she started grabbing snacks. The items she found were chips and sweet snacks. She placed everything in a row on her table in her room so she could lie down. As she ate and watched TV, she saw a fly but it instantly left the room. Her exact words were "Best lazy Saturday ever!"
