Today at The Little School we attended the closing assembly of the first term 2023 with a moving re-enactment of the story of Easter, staged by teachers and pupils of the Drama Club. Congratulations to all involved – actors, singers, narrators, costumes and props. All very well done.

This was followed by several announcements:

pupils who had achieved certificates for excellence in the “know your tables” contest,

winners of events in the junior athletics

winners of the Easter egg competition

and the winner of the “Guess how many sweets in the bottle” competition.

On Friday, 18 November, we celebrated the Grade 7s final day at The Little School. The event took place in the school hall. The Grade 6s, led by Teacher Edlyn, hosted the party. Teacher Edlyn was assisted in her endeavours by Madame Theodette, who cooked some delicious dishes, Teachers Margaret, Babra, Nester, Thabsile and Nicholas who braaied the meat. Our secretary, Aunty Khanyisile, was there to lend a hand wherever needed. Miss Maria, Mrs Morais, and Aunty Khanyisile, together with Teacher Edlyn, were able to find the appropriate Events Coordinator; all contributed towards making this a successful and enjoyable afternoon. Mrs Farrell provided invaluable advice and other assistance.

The guests of the party, the Grade 7s, looked beautiful (the girls) and handsome(the boys)! They had a wonderful time! Apart from the great music supplied by the DJ, there were prizes and speeches.

PRIZES:

The Grade 7 teachers, Teacher Simoline and Mr Motsi, addressed the students, encouraging them with some very pertinent and wise words.

Thank you, everyone mentioned above, and the remaining staff, who all contributed in making this a successful and fun event.

We wish our Grade 7s every success as they enter a new phase of life, High School!

On the 22nd of September, four of our pupils: Sherley Niquice-Grade 3, Vikelwe Mavimbela-Grade 3, Mercy Chikwanha-Grade 4, Mphumelelo Gama-Grade 5 participated in the Regional (preliminary stage) First Swaziland Annual Spelling Bee Competition held at St Marks Primary School. They all performed very well and Mphumelelo was fortunate enough to make it into the top ten students from the Hhohho region to compete at the Nationals that were held at Khanyisile Primary School on the 7th of October.
We were very proud of all of them. Once again WELL DONE, LITTLE SCHOOL!!

On the 4th of November 2016 Mrs Farrell, Mrs Morais and a few other members of staff  went to Phakamani Primary School to deliver Christmas Boxes. The gifts, so generously donated by our parents, were very excitedly received by the children.

News for the third term, 2014

We have been very busy at this Little School this holiday. We have erected the shell of a school hall, and work has begun on the remaining four classrooms.

With the rainy weather about to begin, the school hall will be a very important asset for the school. It can be used almost immediately for assemblies and indoor sports, but we need to get the floor concreted.
Donations from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Donations can be in the shape of bags of cement, loads of sand or stone, and cash, of course. All donations will be used absolutely for the hall.
As soon as the floor is concreted we can start on a stage and dressing rooms for the drama group. Do you remember the wonderful show we put on last year: “Joseph and his Dream Coat”?

We have grassed a second playing field. The grass on the football field is coming on, but now we need the rain. Our next project is to concrete a netball field in front of the Grade 7 block.

The four new classrooms will enable us to have a double stream throughout the school, which will mean smaller classes per teacher – essential for good academic standards.

On the academic side, we were asked to send three pupils to take part in the National Maths Competition. Two children made it to the finals.
Congratulations to Mandiso Dlamini and Siyanda Shongwe, both in Grade 7.

In September we had a very enjoyable athletics day down at The Prince of Wales sports ground. Children from Grades 0 to 7 took part and great fun was had by all.
