Afrikaans week at Applewood was a blast. Uitblinkers gave us an opportunity to showcase Afrikaans, Drama and Music at Applewood. It also allowed us to open a window into a day in the life of our school. The collaboration and collective efforts of teachers, children and parents was impressive. Mrs Steyn did an excellent job in coordinating the day and our children, once again, excelled on the stage. Boeresport took place on Friday, 31 August and was a thoroughly enjoyable occasion. With activities ranging from toutrek to sak reisies, a great deal of fun was had by all.
Our netball girls finished their season on an absolute high. Two of our teams remain unbeaten. A huge congratulations to all the coaches and girls for their hard work and commitment. The rugby season traditionally ends with the Bridge House tournament. Our teams performed admirably this year which is testament to their progress and the extra effort that has gone into rugby this year.
Adam Kilpin, Olivia Boome, Nikita Sullivan and Isabella Pritchett represented Applewood at the Overberg Primary School Tennis Trials on Saturday, 1 September. All of them came within the top eight rankings for their age group. I am very pleased to announce that Olivia Boome, Nikita Sullivan and Isabella Pritchett received Overberg Colours and will compete in the next Boland Country Districts Tennis Tournament in October. Adam Kilpin came second in his section but will only be eligible for colours from next year when he is u10. Special thanks to our fabulous coach Sonja Du Toit who, through her dedication and commitment has inspired and prepared our pupils to perform so well.
Looking back this week: 2007 to 2009. In 2007 two and a half acres of additional land was purchased for the school. Ms Dastile and Mrs Dunton were the new additions to the staff compliment. The first Apple Pie competition was held and the winning pies were sold at the Elgin Valley Market. This year the productions were Treasure Island and a musical entitled “Of flowers and Crazy Flavours.”
In 2008 the theme for the year was, “Teamwork makes the dream work.” This year saw the first family camp at Struisbaai. This was a great success and became somewhat of a tradition. The first Mountain to Coast was introduced where the Grade 7 class journey from Grootvadersbos in the mountains to Infanta at the sea. The PA arranged both an Art and Wine Auction and a Golf day. The funds raised made it possible to complete the building of the hall. The hall was a purpose build so that it could be converted into two classrooms in the future when a bigger multipurpose hall would be built.
In 2009 the Music Centre, Media Centre and the Accelerated Learning Centre were all completed. Clubs were introduced to the school week such as paper making, cooking, arts and crafts and first aid. Gareth Allman cycled from the eastern most point to the western most point of South Africa to raise funds to assist a child in need.
This week we look forward to the Dads and Lads touch rugby braai tonight and the Pre-Primary concert on Tuesday and Thursday evening.
KYKNET AT APPLEWOOD
Twee weke gelede was Afrikaanse week by Applewood. Uitblinkers het ons die geleentheid gebied om Afrikaans, Drama en Musiek by Applewood ten toon te stel. Dit het ons toegelaat om ‘n venster met die blik op ‘n dag in die lewe van ons skool oop te maak. Die gesamentlike spanpogings van al ons onderwysers, kinders en ouers was indrukwekkend. Mev. Steyn het uitstekende werk verrig in die koördinering van hierdie dag en ons kinders het, weereens, uitgeblink op die verhoog. Boeresport het die Vrydag plaasgevind en was ‘n baie genotvolle geleentheid. Met aktiwiteite wat wissel van toutrek tot sakresies, het almal baie pret gehad.
Ons netbal meisies het hulle seisoen op ‘n hoogtepunt afgesluit. Twee van ons spanne bly onoorwonne. ‘n Groot gelukwensing aan al die afrigters en meisies vir hulle harde werk en toewyding. Die rugbyseisoen sluit tradisioneel af met ‘n toernooi by Bridge House. Ons spanne spanne se deelname was vanjaar bemoedigend; ‘n aanduiding van hulle vordering en die ekstra toewyding tot rugby vanjaar.
Adam Kilpin, Olivia Boome, Nikita Sullivan en Isabella Pritchett het Applewood op Saterdag 1 September by die Overberg Primêre Skole Tennisuitdunne verteenwoordig. Almal van hulle het binne die boonste top agt plekke in hule ouderdomsgroep geëindig. Ek is trots om te kan aankondig dat Olivia Boome, Nikita Sullivan en Isabella Pritchett Overberg-kleure ontvang het en aan die volgende ronde van die Boland Distrikstennis Toernooi in Oktober sal deelneem. Adam het tweede is sy afdeling gekom, maar sal slegs van volgende jaar af kan kwalifiseer vir kleure wanneer hy onder 10 is. Ons besondere dank aan ons ongelooflike afrigter, Sonja du Toit wie, deur haar volgehoue toewyding ons kinders nie net geïnspireer het nie, maar ook voorberei het om so goed te vaar.
Hierdie week se terugblik is op 2007 tot 2009. Twee en ‘n halwe akker grond is vir die skool gekoop. Me. Dastile en Mev. Dunton was die twee nuwelinge op die personeel. Die eerste appelpastei-kompetisie is gehou en die wenpasteie is by Elgin Vallei Mark verkoop. Hierdie jaar was die verhoogproduksies “Treasure Island” en ‘n musiekblyspel getiteld “Of Flowers and Crazy Flavours”.
In 2008 was die tema vir die jaar “Spanwerk laat die Droom Werk”. Die eerste familiekamp is in hierdie jaar in Struisbaai gehou. Dit was baie suksesvol en het ‘n tradisie geraak. Die eerste “Mountain to Coast” is bekendgestel waar ‘n Graad 7-klastoer vanaf Grootvadersbosch in die berge to by Infanta by die see onderneem is. Die Ouervereniging het beide die Kuns- en Wynveiling en ‘n gholfdag aangebied. Die fondse daarvan is gebruik vir die bou van die saalgebou. Die saal is gebou met die doel om later in twee klaskamers omskep te word, wanneer ‘n groter en veeldoelige saal gebou word.
In 2009 is die Musieksentrum, Mediasentrum en die Versnelde Leersentrum almal voltooi. Klubs is bekendgestel en weeklikse sessies van papiermaak, kook, kuns en Eerstehulp is aangebied. Gareth Allman het van die mees Suiderlike punt tot by die mees Westerlike punt van Suid-Afrika fietsgery om fondse in te samel vir ‘n kind in nood.
Ons sien hierdie week uit na ons pa en seun raakrugby-braai vanaand en die Pre-primêre konsert op Dinsdag- en Donderdagaand.

The Grade 2 class invited the Grade 6 class and Mrs Moodie to a collaborative lesson on the moon and it’s phases. A practical activity using Oreo cookies was demonstrated. Delicious fun was had whilst learning.
