“So with imagination, ingenuity and audacity, explore, discover, change the world - have fun while you’re at it. Always take time out to love and to live. You’re going to be busy, but never forget family and friends.” Daniel S. Goldin
On Wednesday Mrs Margie Odell, a retired headmistress and junior primary educator, visited our school. The day started with an assembly where she encouraged our children to be sparklers and not balloon poppers (ask your children to elaborate). Margie has a wonderful manner with children of all ages and had everyone mesmerized throughout the day. She visited all but two classes during the day demonstrating some of the wonderful teaching ideas she has developed over the years. In the afternoon, she ran a staff workshop entitled ‘Put sparkle into your classroom’. She reminded us of the vital task we have as educators in preparing our children for jobs that don’t yet exist. She focused on the skills, which will be in demand in the future, those skills that will make people successful. She stressed the importance of ingenuity, divergent thinking and people skills. She emphasized the importance of teaching children to deal with change in our ever changing world. Her approach to teaching forces children to think out of the box and encourages them to validate their thinking. Margie’s no nonsense approach was wonderful. She produced idea after idea and gave so freely of her wealth of experience. Our teachers left feeling inspired.
Mev. Margie Odell, ‘n afgetrede skoolhoof en Junior Primêre onderwyseres, het Woensdag ons skool besoek. Die dag het afgeskop met ‘n saalbyeenkoms waar die kinders aangemoedig is om “sparklers” te wees en nie “balloon poppers” nie (vra gerus u kinders om meer hieroor uit te brei). Margie het ‘n ongelooflike manier om met kinders van alle ouderdomme te werk en sy het almal aan haar voete gehad deur die loop van die dag. Met ‘n uitsondering van twee, het sy al die klasse besoek om party van die wonderlike onderrig idees, wat sy oor die jare heen ontwikkel het, met almal te deel. Gedurende die middag het sy ‘n werkswinkel aangebied genaamd “Put sparkle into your classroom”. Sy het ons daaraan herinner dat, as onderwysers, ons kinders voorberei vir beroepe wat nog nie eens geskep is nie. Sy het op vaardighede gefokus wat, in die toekoms, in groot aanvraag sal wees – die tipe vaardighede wat mense suksesvol sal maak. Sy het klem gelê op die belangrikheid van vindingrykheid, uiteenlopende (uit-die-boks) denke en menseverhoudinge. Sy het hoe belangrik dit is om kinders te leer om by verandering in ‘n ewig veranderende wêreld te kan aanpas, beklemtoon. Haar benadering tot die onderwys leer kinders om uit die boks te dink en hulle redinasie te kan verdedig of verduidelik. Margie se geen nonsens benaring was wonderlik. Sy het die een na die ander idee voor ‘n dag gebring en onvoorwaardelik haar ongelooflike ondervinding gedeel. Ons onderwysers was waarlik geïnspireerd.
Applewood was very well represented at the Grabouw Xterra with almost 30 children, a number of parents and five staff members participating. Have a look at the blog on our website that sums the Friday up so well. Amongst the wonderful participation, we had a number of very good performances. Of particular note was the improvement of one of our teams who managed to take about 18 minutes off their time from last year. Our conditioning, trail running and mountain bike riding are certainly paying dividends. It is remarkable to see the improvement in the riding skills of all of our children but in particular the junior primary group.
Applewood was goed verteenwoordig in die Grabouw Xterra met ‘n deelname van ongeveer 30 kinders, ‘n goeie klompie ouers en vyf personeellede. Kyk gerus na ons webtuiste wat die byeenkoms so goed opsom. Een van ons spanne het besonders goed gedoen nadat hulle hul tyd met ‘n hele 18 minute verbeter het na verlede jaar se deelname. Ons kondisionering, veldwedlope en bergfietsry is beslis besig om vrugte af te werp. Dit is ongelooflik om te sien watter verbetering spesifiek by ons Junior Primêre groep te bespeur is.
Last weekend saw the second full day of first aid training for our teachers. Wild Medics did an amazing job with the training and it was exceptionally well received by all. Focus was on actual scenarios and looked at typical injuries which could arise at school or on excursions. Thank you to all the staff who gave up two full Saturdays to complete this vital training.
Die afgelope naweek was die tweede naweek waartydens Eerstehulp opleiding aan ons personeel gegee is. Wild Medics het hulself ongelooflik goed van hul taak gekwyt en almal kon baatvind by die kursus. Die fokus was op realistiese scenarios en tipiese beserings wat by skole en op uitstappies gesien word. Dankie aan al die personeel wat twee volle Saterdae van hulle tyd opgeoffer het om hierdie noodsaaklike opleiding te ontvang.
The Music department never cease to amaze me. The Apple Rockers concert last night was absolutely amazing. The confidence and talent of the children who performed was incredible. The musicians, who gave freely of their time to perform at the fundraiser, were outstanding. We are so blessed to have music teachers of the highest calibre. Congratulations to Johani Louw for coordinating such a successful and enjoyable evening.
Die Musiekdepartement verras my telkens. Die Apple Rockers-konsert gisteraand was absoluut fantasties. Die selfvertroue en talent waarmee die kinders opgetree het was ongelooflik. Die musikante, wat vrylik van hulle tyd gegee het om by hierdie fondsinsameling op te tree, was uitnemend. Ons is geseënd om musiekonderwysers van sulke kaliber te hê. Geluk aan Johani Louw vir die koördinering van so ‘n suksesvolle en genotvolle aand.
The annual Wacky Walk took place today. The atmosphere was electric and there were some amazing wacky creatures to be seen. The course enjoyed a wonderful upgrade this year with a range of new and innovative obstacles. There was a great spirit of fun and achievement as participants completed their laps. Well done to all involved in coordinating such a successful event for the Pre-Primary.
You may have noticed that Mrs Rostron was absent today. She left very early this morning to attend her husband’s graduation from flight school. Our warmest congratulations to Jonathan.

The first leg of our journey from ‘Good to Great’ has been marvellous.
Die jaarlikse Wacky Walk het vandag plaasgevind. Die atmosfeer was elektries en daar was ‘n paar baie gek gediertetjies te sien. Die roete het ‘n effense opgradering gehad van verlede jaar en daar was ‘n verskeindendheid van innoverende hindernisse. Daar was ‘n goeie gees, vet pret en ‘n gevoel van prestasie soos die deelnemers klaargemaak het. Welgedaan aan almal wat betrokke was by die koördinering van hierdie suksesvolle byeenkoms.
U mag dalk agtergekom het dat Mev. Rostron vandag afwesig was. Sy het reeds vroeg vanoggend vertrek om haar man se gradepletigheid van vliegskool by te woon. Ons hartlike geluk aan Jonathan.

GRADE 6 ‘S
TEAM UP WITH BIZWENI
This year the Grade 6 class has had the privilege of visiting Bizweni once a week. Every Friday we visit the school and pair up with some of their children. It has been amazing to see how quickly our children have made friends with the kids in their class. Last week we were five minutes late and both the teachers and older kids were worrying where the “Applewood children were?".
