Manor Gardens Primary School

Some children from the Open Air School and their teachers recently came to spend some time with the Foundation Phase children at our school to raise awareness for children with varying impairments. It was a very worthwhile collaboration. The children learnt a lot and enjoyed spending time with each other.

Camp out 014.jpg

We're going ahead, despite the weather. Bring your friends and your gumboots!
Despite the damp weather Camp Out did go ahead and was a great success. Many thanks to all the parents and children who came along and added to the happy atmosphere of the day. Thanks too for all the help running various activities, donation of gifts, food and many other things. Well done everyone for a successful fundraising event!

The grade 4's visited the Umgeni River Bird Park on 30 October as part of their bird theme. They studied the various birds and created some beautiful art. They also watched the bird show. We were so proud of their immaculate behaviour that we have decided to award them with a civvies day.
