Exams are over! We were all so relieved when we ruled our last line after our last exam. You were all relieved because you didn't have to rush home and study for another exam and I was relieved because it was the last set of exams for me to mark!
Monday was a rather sad day for us all as we had to say good bye to our dear friend Ashleigh. She and her family boarded the plane for Australia on Tuesday so she should be there by now, ready to start a new life in a new and exciting place. We surprised her with a little farewell party and a gift from all of us which she seemed to love. We made a good choice about the book that we gave her because it was even on her Christmas list! I'm sure she's finished reading it already - she would have had enough time on the long plane trip!
Yesterday we had such a fun day on our outing to the Liesbeeck river. It was such a beautiful day and we learnt a lot about the plants and animals along the river before enjoying a lovely picnic and an exciting cricket match in the park. Congratulations to Jessica for getting a hatrick when she was bowling. I think she passed her good luck onto me who also then got a hatrick. I think I should give up teaching and join the SA Ladies Cricket Team!
Today was another fun day! Our African Dancing workshop was such a hit - I never knew that so many of you are so good at dancing! WOZA!!!! We also got our Walton's boxes which is always an exciting thing. There are so many books in those boxes...I hope you girls are ready for all the hard work ahead in Grade 6!
Don't forget that we have our lovely Carol's Evening tomorrow at from 5pm - 8pm, it is always wonderful to enjoy a picnic while listening to the carols to get us into the Christmas spririt. There will also be lots of interesting things to buy so bring some money along too.
On Friday we are having a Grade 5 pool party! You need to bring your swimming costumes and R20 so that we can get some party snacks and drinks to enjoy by the poolside on Friday morning.
Enjoy the afternoon girls. You have lots more time to do fun things now that all the studying is over!
