Three Peaks School

Last week, the Grade 2, 6 and 7 children from Three Peaks ascended the slopes of Table Mountain. The weather could not have been more perfect, nor the scenery more spectacular. From this magnificent vantage point, the children were able to witness the stillness of the skies, the vastness of the land below, and the delicate beauty of our indigenous flora. Moments such as these can cultivate a deep sense of appreciation and awe for the extraordinary privileges we are fortunate enough to experience in this city.

That best portion of a good man's life,
His little, nameless, unremembered act
Of kindness and of love.

Lessons continue to nurture young minds with the wonders of the world—from vast landscapes to the tiniest snails. It is this thoughtful balance that encourages children to imagine and explore while remaining grounded in the beauty of the real world. As their understanding grows, so too does their appreciation of both the grandeur of the world around them and the significance of the smallest details.

For to understand one human being so completely that you feel his feelings and think his thoughts is really like gaining possession of a new world; it is gaining the power of living in another's life.

The art of puppetry has the unique ability to captivate young minds, holding children's attention while drawing them into a world of imagination and storytelling. Every child found themselves eager to participate through narration, dancing, singing, and dramatic play. What a magical and memorable way to end our week!

therefore, either reform the world, or bear with it!

Gardens Nook Preschool has always been a place where the sun shines, no matter the weather outside. The genuine warmth and joy that echo through the classrooms in the sounds of laughter and play fill each day with light, happiness, and a sense of peace. Children delight in the company of their friends, spending treasured moments reading together, playing outdoors, or chatting about the important events in their young lives.

At Three Peaks School, the children have immersed themselves in the wonderful world of learning. They have explored the composition of matter, from the tiniest atom to the mighty steam engine, while also discovering the simple joy of the timeless craft of French knitting. With every new experience, the world becomes a playground, and we become its eager companions.

As children engage with their world alongside each other, they experience joy. They desire society as much as they desire knowledge and esteem. And when there is joy, children's brains are more receptive to learning. Whether we are building castles, discovering foreign lands, or playing in the rain, we come to know form, area, patterns, solutions, cause and effect, and much more, all in the space of a morning shared together.
