Our children are excited to be back on the fields. Last week we started our training sessions in rugby, hockey and netball. This is to prepare for our upcoming fixtures starting this week.

Welcome back to school.
Our children have started their second term well.

On the 31st of March we held our Music under the stars concert. Our children displayed excellent performances.

Earlier in the term our grade 2 class held a letter land parade around the school. Children came dressed as a character their letter represents. This was indeed such fun!

It was all to run for in the Inter-house Athletics that took place on Saturday in the cold, foggy marondera weather. Parents were put in their numbers supporting the children as they raced the morning away.

The houses battled it out till the end and Hungwe came out victorious!! Well done to all the children for participating, the parents for the lovely cheer and not forgetting the electric parents vs teachers races!!

It all comes down to the last interhouse event for the term. Will Hungwe stand their ground and clinch the title to make it 1 Cup apiece or will Chapungu clinch a double? Tomorrow we find out!!

On the 4th of March we held our first Inter-house Cross Country meet in two years and it was so good to have parents in the stands supporting their children. The children ran very well and at the end of the day CHAPUNGU took it home!

Our grade 6 class of 2021 went out to Tree of Life in Ruwa at the end of the year. The children thoroughly enjoyed this educational trip and went home equipped with leadership and communication skills.

Once every year each grade goes on a camp or educational trip in and around the country. Children always look forward to these trips as they are very beneficial and equip children with very important life skills.

The school has come alive with children filling the once empty corridors and fields. We are so excited to have all the children back at school and the atmosphere is electric!! Here are some stills from our first week back at Lendy.

Grade 2 Trip to Nyati Eco Game Park

At the end of the third term last year the grade 2 class set out on a day trip towards the east to Nyati Eco Game Park, Headlands, Zimbabwe. After a few months of doing both digi-school and online learning the class decided to take some time away from the classroom and have a little change of scenery.

The day was filled with various activities including boat riding, hourse riding, outdoor games, game drive and interaction with the white lions. The children enjoyed all the activities and could've gone all day long. Lunch was served followed by some outdoor games in the garden. Children learnt about different kinds of animals and plants during the game drive and lion interaction.

It was indeed an amazing day for the children!

Join us tomorrow, Friday 3 December online for our Speech & Prize Giving Day.

Grade 1
Gosho Park trip

The anxiety started building up earlier than anticipated. I mentioned the prospects of an outing in October and I told them that we would definitely travel on the new big bus. We waited long for the big bus but eventually we had our camp on Monday the 1st of November 2021.
We left Lendy at 825am to be precise. We arrived at Gosho Park at 9am and soon the whole place was painted red.
It was a very hot day ,scorching and blazing hot. We embarked on a three and half hour walk in the woods from 1030am to 2pm. What a long walk! We had our water bottles on us to hydrate and rehydrate ourselves aginst the heat. I was pysched up to carry one or two incase they tire on the way , much to my disbilief everyone managed without aid. We would take breaks in between the walk for game viewing, lying on the rocks or just sitting under the trees to replenish the zeal and energy to carry on. It was the most exciting day of our life together.
The highlight of the camp was the raincoat galore. We had packed our raincoats in antcipation of the rains and the weather did not hint of any rains, so we just wore our raincoats and played in the sun. Thank God, it rained as soon as we arrived back at Lendy, what a blessing!

Grade 3 trip to
The grade 3 class took some time off school and set out to refresh their minds and also practically learn about nature and farming.

"It was lovely to finally go spend time away in the bush since the lockdown started. The children and I were so excited to smell the fresh air and to see (and interact) with nature. We took in all of Imire's beauty and we awed at God's marvelous creation. The beautiful night sky and the cool breeze made us wish to stay there longer."

-Mrs T. Chinyowa
(Class Teacher)

It's back to school! We've missed having the children here with us and in less than 24hrs these pathways will be alive again.

Our Shona Day this term was filled with lots of celebration, dance, music and a good meal under the beautiful trees by the school hall. We also took time to bid farewell to our long time serving cook, Mr Agemu porpulaly known as "Sekuru Mirion". Mr Agemu started working at Lendy Park School in 1995 and has played a huge role at Lendy, serving delicious food and on time for a good 26 years. We are grateful to have had him at Lendy and we wish him well in his retirement.

Construction Update!

Our tennis courts are now 80% complete. The children are so excited and so are we. We can't wait to play sport again and have you all come and enjoy an afternoon of tennis with us.
