Crawford International Fourways

🦁 Our Unit of Inquiry has begun with an exciting adventure into South Africa and its incredible wildlife! 🦒🦓🐆

Our learners kicked off the unit with a fun "shock" experience, exploring the Big Five and discovering the amazing animals that call the South African bush home.

Through hands-on activities, they painted leaves, created zebra, giraffe, and leopard patterns using paper shapes, drew their favourite wild animals, and brought their creations to life with Play-Doh. 🎨🌿

Learning through creativity, play, and exploration is helping our young learners develop a deeper appreciation for the beautiful country we call home and the remarkable wildlife that makes it so unique. 💚✨

🌌🚀 Exploring Beyond Our Planet! 🔭✨

Our Grade 5 learners visited the Wits Planetarium as part of their How the World Works Unit of Inquiry. Through immersive experiences, they explored space, discovered the wonders of our universe and brought their classroom learning to life! 🌍🌠

🌸✨ Celebrating Women’s Day at Crawford International Fourways! ✨🌸

What a lovely surprise! Mr Naidoo and Mr Horsfield spread some Women’s Day cheer by walking around the school and gifting our wonderful teachers and support staff with chocolates. 🍫💐

A small gesture to celebrate and appreciate the incredible women who make our school community so special. ❤️

Happy Women’s Day! 🌷

🤍 Happy Women's Day!

Today, we celebrate the incredible women who shape our school community every day—as mothers, teachers, leaders, mentors, and role models.

Thank you for your dedication, strength, compassion, and the lasting impact you have on the lives of our students. Your influence extends far beyond the classroom, inspiring the next generation to dream, grow, and lead.

Today and every day, we celebrate you. 🌸

🐝 The Bee Class became busy little birds this week! 🪹🍃

Our little explorers ventured outdoors to collect sticks, leaves, and other natural treasures to build their very own bird nests. Along the way, they discovered where birds live, what they need to survive, and how they carefully create safe homes for their families.

Back in the classroom, the children used feathers, wool, and cotton to make their nests warm and cosy. One of our thoughtful Bees proudly shared, "I'm using cotton to make it comfy for the birds to lay eggs!" 🥹💛

It was a joy to watch their creativity, teamwork, and compassion for nature come to life as they imagined the world through the eyes of a bird. 🐦🌿

What a day to remember! 🏅🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
Last Friday, our learners brought energy, determination, and incredible house spirit to our Interhouse Athletics Day. From exciting races to enthusiastic cheers, every moment reflected teamwork, resilience, and the Crawford spirit.

Well done to all our athletes, and thank you to our staff, parents, and supporters for making the day such a memorable success! ❤️🩶🖤

As we wrap up the month of July, we're reminded that even the smallest acts of kindness can make the biggest difference. 🥫❤️

In honour of Mandela Day, our Crawford International Fourways community came together in support of our Collect-a-Can Campaign. Every can donated is a symbol of compassion, generosity, and hope for those in need.

A heartfelt thank you to our students, parents, and staff for making this initiative a success. Together, we're inspiring our future leaders to serve with purpose and make a meaningful impact in our community.
