SAD FAREWELL!!!!
It is with sadness that we say good-bye to a wonderful staff member this week. Leonie has only been with us for nearly 3 years but has crept into each of our hearts as well as the children’s. Leonie cooks the children’s lunch and was instrumental in re-designing and improving the menu. She is moving to Hermanus and we wish her all the very best. Friday will be her last day!

Hello Penguin parents and family. This week we are talking about fantasy and reality in story books. We will then end our week with a dress up in any character from a story. We continue with setting realistic goals for ourselves. Please note that we have a student form UNISA in our class this week. Don’t forget it’s also our cake sale on Friday which means that our class provides the cake for the school and we bring R5. It’s going to be an exciting day for the Penguins on Friday.

We are desperate for used paper. Please if you have a contact, please let us know!
