‘Our greatest natural resource is the minds of our children.’

— Walt Disney

It is important that learners are able to discover things outside of the classroom. We try our best to expose them to the world.

  • Tygerberg Nature Reserve grades 1 and 2

18 June 2015, our foundation phase, more specifically our grades 1 and 2’s visited the Tygerber Nature reserve. Firstly they watched a few videos explaining to them what fynbos is and also exposing them to some of the animals found at the nature reserve. There after learners were split up into different groups and assigned to a reserve guide. The guides showed them animals and also allowed them to touch and feel different stuffed animals, ostrich eggs and also the shell of a tortoise.

The learners were extremely excited about what they had been taught. It was then the time to put these skills into practice and they were on their nature walk. On the walk the guide showed and taught them about various birds that the guide had told them about. They even spotted various bucks, an experience they will never forget.
