COMIC CRAZINESS! 🎨💥

Our Grade 3 learners are stepping into the exciting world of comic strips! 📚✏️
They’re discovering how characters, speech bubbles, facial expressions and sequencing work together to tell a story. Now, they’re putting their new skills and their imaginations to the test by creating comics of their very own!

Who knew learning could be this much fun?

STROKIESGEKTE! 🎨💥

Ons graad 3-leerders betree die opwindende wêreld van strokiesprente! 📚✏️
Hulle ontdek hoe karakters, spraakborrels, gesigsuitdrukkings en opeenvolging saamwerk om ’n storie te vertel. Nou stel hulle hul nuwe vaardighede en hul verbeelding op die proef deur hul eie strokiesprente te skep!

Wie sou kon d**k dat leer soveel pret kan wees?

Elkeen van hierdie kranige leerders het binne net agt dae aan 12 groot skaakwedstryde deelgeneem – ’n ongelooflike prestasie! Maragon was boonop die enigste span onder die top-ope spanne met ’n meisie in sy geledere.

Ons uitslae:
🥇 O/9 – 1ste plek
🥈 O/11 – 2de plek
🥇 O/13 – 1ste plek

Ons O/13-kampioenspan bestaan uit twee 13-jariges, een 12-jarige en drie 11-jariges. Maragon-skaak kóók! ♟️

Each of these talented learners played 12 major chess matches over just eight days - an incredible achievement! Maragon was also the only team among the leading open teams to include a girl in its line-up.

Our results:
🥇 U/9 – 1st place
🥈 U/11 – 2nd place
🥇 U/13 – 1st place

Our championship-winning U/13 team is made up of two 13-year-olds, one 12-year-old and three 11-year-olds.

Wat ’n vreugdevolle oggend van lofprysing en aanbidding saam met ons kleuterskoolfamilies! Ons kinders, gesinne en personeel het saamgekom om te sing, te bid en God se goedheid te vier. 🙏💛

What a joyful morning of Preschool Family Praise and Worship! Our children, families and staff came together to sing, pray and celebrate God’s goodness. 🙏💛
