New Hands Celebrating Heritage day.

21/09/2026

Good morning, everyone.
This week, we celebrate our beautiful country, South Africa. ❤️💛💚💙

Although there are many negative things happening in our country, we also have so much to celebrate and be proud of. South Africa is a truly special and beautiful country.

We are a Rainbow Nation, made up of many different cultures, traditions, languages and people. We have 11 official languages, and each one forms an important part of our South African identity.

We are blessed with some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, from our stunning beaches and mountains to our forests, wildlife and beautiful landscapes.
South Africa is also home to incredible animals such as the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo. 🦁🐆🐘🦏🐃

We have beautiful weather, friendly and welcoming people, and, of course, some of the most delicious food! From biltong and boerewors to milk tart, koeksisters, bobotie and chakalaka, our food is as diverse as our people. 🇿🇦

And then there is our love of a good braai! A braai is more than just cooking food , it is a time when family and friends come together, share stories, laugh and enjoy each other's company.

On Thursday, 24 September, we celebrate Heritage Day. It is a day to celebrate our different cultures, traditions and heritage, and to appreciate what makes each of us unique while remembering that we are all part of one beautiful South Africa.

So this week, let us focus on the good, celebrate our differences, appreciate our beautiful country and remember how lucky we are to call South Africa home.

Good morning, Parents! 🌞

This week, we are learning about all the food groups we need to make our bodies strong and healthy. We will also learn about foods that are not good for us when we eat too much of them, such as sweets and cakes.

🥕 Fun Facts About Vegetables

• Vegetables help our bodies grow strong and healthy.
• Carrots are good for our eyes.
• Green vegetables, like spinach and broccoli, contain vitamins and minerals that help keep our bodies healthy.
• Vegetables contain fibre, which helps our tummies and digestion.
• Eating a variety of colourful vegetables gives our bodies different nutrients.

🍭 Why Too Many Sweets and Sugary Drinks Are Not Good for Us

• Too much sugar can cause tooth decay and cavities.
• Sugary drinks and sweets contain lots of sugar but do not provide many of the nutrients our bodies need.
• Eating too many sugary foods can make it harder to eat enough healthy foods.
• Water and milk are better everyday drink choices than sugary drinks.

Remember, sweets and cakes can be enjoyed as occasional treats, but eating a variety of healthy foods helps our bodies grow strong and healthy! 💚

Good morning 🌸🌳

Welcome to the 2nd week of Spring! 🌼

This week our theme is Trees and Wood. 🌳🪵 We will be learning about trees, their different parts, what they provide for us, and all the wonderful things we can make from wood.

🌳 Cool fact: Did you know that trees can communicate with each other through underground networks of fungi connected to their roots? Nature has its very own “Wood Wide Web”! 🌱
