iThemba School Capricorn

Happy Friday, everyone! 👋

This week at iThemba was filled with learning, creativity, and plenty of smiles. Our learners participated in a variety of activities while also taking part in their mid-year assessments. It has been wonderful to see how much our learners have grown and developed over the first half of the year. 😇

A special highlight was our Fantasy Picnic Day, where learners came dressed in imaginative outfits and enjoyed a fun-filled picnic with their teachers and friends. The day was filled with laughter, creativity, and joyful memories. 🥰

We are also grateful to the healthcare professionals who visited our school this week to support the well-being of our learners. Their care and dedication were greatly appreciated by both our families and staff. 🙏

A heartfelt thank you goes to our dedicated team at iThemba, who continue to create a safe, caring, and nurturing environment for our children every day. We are also grateful to The Learning Initiative for their ongoing support. 🫶

Lastly, we would like to thank Woolworths, Premier Bakery, and Shoprite for their weekly donations of food, bread, and soup, as well as our anonymous monthly donor and all our sponsors for their continued support. 🙏

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend ahead! 🌟

Happy Monday, everyone! 👋

Over the past week, Cape Town truly lived up to its name as the Cape of Storms, with severe weather affecting many families in our community. Despite the heavy rain and strong winds, our learners continued to show remarkable resilience and courage. We are grateful to provide a warm, safe, and caring environment during these challenging days.

Although the storm impacted attendance and limited some of our normal classroom activities, valuable lessons in resilience, compassion, and community spirit emerged throughout the week. Our learners are also continuing to prepare for their mid-year assessments, with the current classroom theme focusing on Farm Animals.

A special thank you goes to The Learning Initiative, who are currently supporting our learners through dedicated sessions and continue to make a meaningful impact within our school community.

We also recently hosted a successful parent-teacher meeting, where families and educators came together to strengthen communication and support the well-being and development of our learners. These partnerships remain an important part of the iThemba journey.

Despite the severe weather conditions, we are incredibly proud that our staff maintained a 100% attendance rate, continuing to care for and support our learners with dedication and compassion. Their commitment and teamwork remain a true source of strength within our school community. 🫶

Happy Thursday, everyone! 👋

The start of the second term has been a gradual one, with winter weather bringing colder days and rain over the past two weeks. Despite these challenges, our learners continue to show remarkable resilience, arriving each day with energy and a willingness to learn. 📚😇

We are grateful to provide warm meals and cosy classrooms to help create a safe and caring environment during the colder season.

Our theme for the fortnight was “Jobs People Do.” Our learners explored the important roles of community helpers and we were excited to welcome members of the local Law Enforcement Department for a special visit. The children enjoyed learning more about safety, community care, and the important work officers do.

A fun highlight was our dress-up activities, where our learners came dressed as their dream careers and also imitated their grandparents, bringing lots of laughter, creativity, and joyful conversations into the classroom. 🥰

As always, we are incredibly thankful to our dedicated staff for their daily care and commitment. From preparing warm meals early each morning to creating welcoming classrooms and supporting families behind the scenes, their teamwork continues to make iThemba a nurturing place for our learners. 🫶

Happy Monday, everyone! 👋

The last two weeks of the first term were filled with activity, joy and meaningful learning. Our learners have grown in wonderful ways – physically, emotionally and socially. 😇

Our theme, 'My Family and Home', fostered a strong connection between classroom learning and family life. We ended the term with two special events: Granny Day and Family Day.

Granny Day was filled with laughter as the children enjoyed imitating their grandparents, while Family Day, which was combined with our termly fundraiser, was a great success. It was filled with games, face painting, a bouncy castle, and opportunities for us all to spend time together.

We are also grateful for the support of volunteers from the International School of Cape Town, whose help made the day even more special.

We would like to thank our dedicated staff for their teamwork and commitment in creating such a joyful and supportive environment for our learners. 🫶

Lastly, we would like to thank Woolworths, Premier Bakery and Shoprite for their weekly food, bread and soup donations, the One&Only Hotel Group for their linen donation and all our sponsors for their continued support. 🙏

Wishing everyone a great start to the week! 🌟
