Verse and Music 2010

What a lovely time was had at the Verse and Music performance at the end of Term 2.  We were treated to some super singing, entertaining poetry recital, brilliant piano playing, lovely recorder music and rousing African drumming.  Thanks to all children, teachers and parents for making this such a successful event.

 

Phoenix Festival

Congratulations to our teams who played superbly at the festival.  Our boys had some tough competition but were able to beat Hillview. The netball team provided great entertainment and came second, only two goals away from winning the cup this time! Some excellent team work girls and boys.

World Book Day

We had a wonderful day on Thursday, 4th March when all SHJ pupils came to school dressed as a book character of their choice.  We had great fun reading together, painting, cooking and discovering new books and games on the World Book Day website.  Thanks for all the effort children and parents put into their costumes.

World Swim Against Malaria

Congratulations to all children at Sir Harry’s from Nursery to Upper Juniors, who raised $1000 for World Swim Against Malaria 2010.  This money will buy 400 nets for use in Malawi and will help to prevent mostly children from being infected with malaria.  

Inter-Schools Swimming Gala 2010 at BMIS

We had a whale of a time at the BMIS Gala last weekend and were extremely proud of the efforts of SHJ pupils. We managed to pick up a few medals and lots of complimentary comments about our children and their determination.  Well done, in particular, to Camille Schull who held her own against some very tough competition.  The boys found it difficult to catch the Phoenix and BMIS rockets but they weren’t far behind! Thank you to all our swim squad team whose behaviour was exemplary and an even bigger thanks to our noisy and well-positioned parents!

Nanzikambe Theatre

We had an excellent time working with Aaron from Nanzikambe Theatre Arts and look forward to more visits from him in the near future.

Hillview Swimcamp 2009

What a fantastic time we had at Hillview International School on Thursday 29th and Friday 30th October.  We were made very welcome by the staff and children at Hillivew.  Grateful for the rain in the late afternoon, we were kept very active until bedtime on Thursday.  All of us agreed that it was a well worthwhile event.  We worked on fitness, improved our swimming technique and had bundles of fun.  Sir Harry pupils were exemplary in their behaviour and we were proud of their efforts in the pool.  Several of our pupils won their races and many were presented with awards at the Camp Assembly:  Biko Bourgeois, Camille Schull, Kalusha Graf, Upile Napolo, Violet Kachali, Paddy Barras-Hargan and Gabriel Schull.  Many SHJ children have been selected to swim at next week’s Phoenix Relay Gala and we wish them luck.  Thank you to all the parents who helped with transporting children and luggage.  We look forward to next year’s camp here at Sir Harry Johnston International School.

 

Learn the News, SA

Upper Juniors have been presenting the news most weeks in Friday Assembly this term.  They have used a Powerpoint presentation and read out news items, often taken from ‘Learn the News’, a South African email newspaper published twice a week on the internet.  We were, therefore, delighted to be asked to illustrate the paper on 26th October and several of our children had their illustrations published in the paper.  Please see the ‘Learn the News’ website to see our work and to read about this worthwhile project at www.learnthenews.com 

 

Dedza Pottery Visit

On Friday 9th October, Benjamin and Gift from Dedza Pottery came to work with our Lower and Upper Junior Classes.  We learned lots about how to use clay effectively and painted our favourite design on a plate.  Nursery and Infant Classes worked with clay with their teachers.  We are all looking forward to the return of our fired pottery work within a couple of weeks.We look forward to another visit from the potters next year.
