Congratulations!

Last night 15 of our girls were recognized for their outstanding achievement in the Horizon Maths Competition. These girls were ranked in the top 200 achievers in the Cape. There were 16 500 participants drawn from 142 primary schools nationally.

We are particularly proud of Irena Nolte, a grade 6 pupil at Oakhurst. Not only was she the top Oakhurst achiever but she was also placed 3rd in the Cape (top girl) and 6th in the country.

We hope these results will encourage all our pupils to strive for excellence.

On 2 August, the Gr1 & Gr2s went on an outing to the Honeybee Foundation.

The girls had great fun learning about bees through various hands on activities. These included:
- Dressing up as bee-keepers, flowers, bees
- Playing shop-shop
- Looking through microscopes to see a bee sting/bees wing/leg etc
- Tasting honey
- Watching a puppet show

Follow up activities will continue in class in Literacy, Numeracy & Life Skills.

The grade 1 class for 2011 is now fully subscribed. Applications will still be accepted, but applicants will have to be put on a waiting list.
