Photos from Curro George's post

Our Grade R’s wrote their names with white wax crayons so it was invisible, but when we added bright lines of watercolor paint, it suddenly appeared like magic! Practicing our pencil grip and fine motor movement.

Grade 2🤩

Learning all about 3D objects🔴🟨🔷

3D objects are fat not flat.
A cone is like a party hat. 🥳
A sphere is a bouncy ball. 🎾
A prism is a building tall. 🏢
A cylinder is like a soda pop. 🥤
A cube is like a dice you drop. 🎲
3D objects are here and there, 3D objects are everywhere!

Your mental health 🧠

Stephen Hawking is a man who overcame incredible obstacles after he was diagnosed with motor neuron disease. 💭He always advised people with serious illnesses such as his ‘not to be disabled in spirit’.

In one of his lectures for people struggling with mental health, he included these encouraging words👇:

‘Black holes ain’t as black as they are painted. They are not the eternal prisons they were once thought. If you feel you are in a black hole, don’t give up. Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see. How difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.’

TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!
Curro George wants to stand behind this great initiative to try and make life a little easier for those in need.

Did you know that it takes about 200kg of bread-bag tags or 450kg of plastic bottle top caps to get enough money for a wheelchair?

Please send your bread-bag tags and plastic bottle caps to your register teacher at school.

Healthy development in earlier years gives rise to life-long well-being.😊

1) Behavioural self-regulation: Significant for developing a healthy approach to understanding, monitoring and controlling one’s own reaction to the environment

2) Enhance problem-solving skills: Problem-solving abilities can be transferable and applicable throughout different personal, academic and social situations

3) Motivation to learn: Curiosity is developed through exploration of different environments, facilitating a continuous motivation to learn throughout later years

4) Character skills: Rules and social circumstances in educational environments teach children about discipline and responsibility

5) Social skills: Exposure to peers leads to learning about interacting with others, building friendships, and enhancing teamwork abilities

6) Emotional development: Social interactions expose children to learning about emotions and their effects, such as compassion, empathy, conflict management, and negotiation

7) Physical development: Gross and fine motor skills are developed and enhanced through play and sport

8) School readiness: Heightened cognitive and social skills assist with building confidence to interact pro-actively in a new environment

Why is drawing important for children's development? Children draw to express what they are feeling and thinking. Drawing also helps to develop manipulative skills that will assist children to write.

The grade 1 learner's practiced their spelling words by writing the words in shaving cream and had fun while doing it.

By now, we are all very familiar with a virus that has turned the world upside down. 🌍 Judy Klipin, master coach, facilitator and trainer from Johannesburg, points out: ‘We are in transition from horror to hope.’

It is certainly a good time to make life-enhancing changes👇:

- Connect with people who make you feel good about yourself
- Find meaning in your work
- Create oases of peace, calm and beauty
- Schedule holidays (even short breaks)
- Be more discerning about how you spend your energy
- Love and nurture yourself and the people for whom you care
