Newton House School

🍎✨ The latest Staff Golden Apple Award is proudly awarded to Talitha Shereni, our incredible school receptionist.

Talitha is often the first smile that greets visitors, the calm voice on the phone and the reassuring presence that keeps our front office running so smoothly. Her patience with staff, parents and pupils is truly remarkable, where she approaches tasks with kindness and a heart for service. Whether she is administering first aid, phoning parents, tracking down lost property, managing mountains of administration or simply helping someone in need, nothing is ever too much trouble.

Congratulations, Talitha, on this well-deserved recognition. We appreciate you! 💙🍎👏

💯🎉 100 Days Smarter! 🎉💯

Our Grade 1s celebrated a very special milestone – 100 Days of School! 🥳📚✏️ The excitement was contagious as our Grade 1s marked 100 days of growing, learning, exploring and making wonderful memories together. 🌟❤️ From creative activities and counting challenges to lots of fun, it was a day to remember! 🎨🔢🎈

We are so proud of how much our Grade 1s have achieved in just 100 days. Here’s to the next 100 days of learning adventures! 🚀📖💙

🔢✨ The Grade 2s are working incredibly hard on mastering their 3× tables! Through repetition, games, songs, and plenty of practice, they are building confidence and strengthening their mental maths skills every day.

Trading senior classes for junior adventures. 🚀 The Grade 7 team had an eventful morning in the Foundation Phase classes. 🩷 You’re never too old to learn new skills and appreciate the Foundation Phase teachers more.

Exams: Conquered! ✅ Huge shoutout to our Grade 4s for tackling their first-ever exams with such a great attitude. We are getting thumbs-up energy from them! 👍

The Spelling Bee Challenge brought plenty of excitement, healthy rivalry and lots of fun as our Junior Primary pupils put their spelling skills to the test. At Newton House, we believe activities like these are about so much more than getting words right. Spelling Bees build confidence, strengthen vocabulary, improve reading and writing skills, and encourage children to think quickly under pressure. 🐝

Huge shoutout to teachers who do lots of planning, get their hands messy with crafts and keep finding new, tangible ways to make learning stick. We appreciate you. ❤️🙌

There is something undeniably joyful about froggy art. 🐸

Did You Know? 🐸
Some species of frogs, like the Wood Frog, can survive being frozen solid. When winter hits, these frogs allow their blood and organs to freeze, effectively putting them into a state of suspended animation. They stop breathing and their heart stops beating, only to thaw out and hop away as if nothing happened once spring arrives! 🥶
