DENITA-SUE and Britney Pieterse recently swam at two different South African championships. Britney swam at the South African regional level two championships in Sasolburg and took part in 10 events, swimming her personal best times in nine of the 10 events and managing to improve twice in some events. Britney brought home four medals, gold – 200m individual medley, silver – 400 m freestyle, and bronze- 50 and 100m breaststroke.
Denita-Sue managed to qualify for the South African national level three championships held in Cape Town, swimming in five events. Managing to swim three personal best times and to make the final top eight in the 50m breaststroke event, she finished seventh, placing her seventh fastest in the country in 50m breaststroke for her age group.
April Niemack swam at the regionals in Sasolburg last weekend and made it into three finals, obtaining level two for the 200m freestyle (8th), 400m freestyle (4th) and 200m backstroke (6th). April also achieved first reserve for the 50m butterfly event.
The gr 4F class visited Mac Banana with teachers and parents recently. Two weeks ago, the gr 5 pupils went on an outing to Ramsgate beach, where the lifeguards taught them about beach behaviour, safety, sea rescue and CPR.
Gr Rs enjoyed the end of their theme ‘our five senses’ with a crazy ‘sensopathic’ day and were fortunate enough to experience the first display on conservation from Jungle Gym Edu-fun. Pupils learnt about being mini-rangers through song, dance and a puppet show.
