Hi Facebook Friends!

This will be our last Facebook post on this page as we move over to a closed group where a request will need to be made to us to join the group - a reminder that you will need to motivate if you would like a granny/ aunty etc to join as we may not know who they are when a request is sent to us and therefore may not automatically accept them.

As posted a few weeks ago...

"In light of the recent talk on "The Dangers of Social Media" and with a wealth of knowledge that we received, we will be doing away with this public page and transitioning onto a private group.
You and your family will need to request membership to be added to the group. This will ensure that only people with a vested interest in the school will have access to the posts that we share about the little lives.
This transition will take place in December.
We thank you for your understanding in this regard and for honouring our decision in trying to ensure that our little lives are kept safe.
We look forward to posting all the precious moments of our little lives onto our new group!"

Thanks,
Jacqui

P.S - Please be patient as the start of school this week will be keeping us very busy and so we will accept you all onto our new group whenever we have a spare moment away from the precious little lives :)

School starting age: the evidence Earlier this month the "Too Much, Too Soon" campaign made headlines with a letter calling for a change to the start age for formal learning in schools. Here, one of the signatories, Cambridge researcher David Whitebread, from the Faculty of Education, explains why children may need more time to deve...

The grade R classes joined together to make crowns as part of our lesson on the letter "q is for queen" - important skills are being developed here as the little lives use their fine motor skills, patterns and sequencing, sorting, naming colours etc - they had so much fun! Love seeing the learning taking place! 😊

Purple Group N having some outdoor fun with the musical instruments they made!

Some imagination station fun! Thank you Amanzimtoti Primary School for the donation of play costumes!

What a fun day! 😄 Sports Day 2016! Knowledge and Sne battled it out for the Staff Trophy - Sne coming just short of victory 😉 not sure who had more fun - the little lives or the big lives! 🏃🏿🏆🎉

Our little lives know it's not about the bunnies and the eggs! After learning what Easter is really about from Monday - Thursday, we celebrated what Jesus did for us with an Easter egg hunt on Friday!
