Staying snug and warm!
It's hard to concentrate when one is freezing cold, so we had a slippers and dressing-gown week here in the icy Bloemfontein weather!

Parent Day Presentations
At the end of Term Two we present a cross-section of activities and work done so far in the year.
Here our Friday St James class is performing a small scene called "The School Camp"
Our Parent Day Presentations are a great opportunity to showcase our fun and vibrant classes. The children love showing their families and friends what they have achieved over the year so far.

Term Two Under Way
An integral part of Term Two is our preparations for a "Parent Day Presentation". This hones performance skills, projection and articulation in speech, and flow of movement.
Here some Brebner students are making a start on some 'mini-scripts' - short scripted scenes.

"Bring-a-Grownup-Day"
Once a year we have a "Bring-a-Grownup-Day". The Parents, grand-parents, aunts and uncles, all participate in the class. The children are so proud of their abilities, and the parents gain a great appreciation of the skills we learn in Drama class.
