Icecreams/Roomys

We were very sad when it rained on the night of our sleep over as we had arranged for the children to go across the road and get soft serve ice creams and we weren't able to go. BUT ........

a few days ago Mel and I came up with another brainwave! We have been discussing money and as many of you are aware we have a 'shopkeeper' every week so we thought that it would be an ideal opportunity for the children to do money calculations and go and get ice creams! We doubled up on that by including it in our afrikaans theme of 'Ek hou van ......ROOMYS! So off we traipsed across the road chanting ' Ons hou baie van roomys!'

Life is never boring in Grade two at Eden College!

Harbour outing

To end off the term we decided to go on an outing around the bay and visit the maritime museum. It was a perfect day and we all had a ball.

We boarded the Sarie Marais and there was great excitement when we had to put on life jackets.

There was great hilarity when Kiran took out of his lunch box a real coconut! The boys all proceeded to try many different ways to break the coconut and they eventually succeeded! The children were all delighted to try it!  Well done Kiran!

After that we visited two tugs at the maritime museum.

We left having, yet again, experienced learning which was relevant, exciting and meaningful.
