11 April 2014 BRIDGE HOUSE PRE-PRIMARY · PREPARATORY · COLLEGE P R E P N E W S Issue 11 www.bridgehouse.org.za 11 April 2014 U13 Girls Hockey Tour to Knysna On the last day of Term 1, our U13 girls’ hockey team left for Knysna to participate in the Sport at Backward Point hockey festival. The 3-day festival started on Friday morning and the girls played 5 matches on the first day, 5 matches on Saturday and 3 matches on Sunday. We played against schools from Port Elizabeth, Cape Town and Knysna. We had mixed results on the tour, but it was very pleasing to see how the girls’ hockey improved over the 3 days. We achieved victories against Oakhill Primary (4-0), Eversdal Primary (1-0) and Grove Primary (1- 0). We drew against Knysna Primary (3-3), Woodridge Primary (0-0) and St Cyprian’s (0-0). The afternoons were spent relaxing and bonding as a team. A visit to Adventureland outside Plettenberg Bay was a favourite of the girls. Some girls were brave enough to have a swim in the chilly sea at Buffalo Bay on the Saturday afternoon. Mr Shaun Keyser - 2 - - 3 - Green Team A group of Grade 6 girls have formed the Green Team environmental club. We were inspired by a Natural Science lesson about the environmental dangers facing our precious planet. We felt like we had to make a difference by cleaning up the litter in our local communities. Our plan is to meet weekly at a site which is polluted and to do little jobs like recycling, collecting rain water and raising awareness. Our plan for the future is to get students in Bridge House to join our fight to protect Planet Earth! Gr 6H girls MATHS STAR Congratulations to Rebecca Meihuizen who has been chosen as a non- travelling reserve for the International Maths Competition to be held in South Korea in July. Rebecca has the privilege of attending intensive mathematics extension classes every week at Elkanah House, exploring trigonometry, calculus, the ideas of Pythagoras and formulae such as .Well done, Becs! Congratulations! Congratulations to Bangi and Lilitha Poni on the arrival of their baby girl, Akhanya! Wedding Bells Ringing…. Cupid was busy in the holidays! Violin teacher Tana and Donovan van Sittert tied the knot, and the Gr 1s have to remember that Miss Boshoff, who married her beau, is now Mrs Binedell! Congratulations to both happy couples! - 4 - From the Head’s Desk Welcome back! It was good to see that from day one our teachers and pupils were back on task and actively involved in the academic and extra mural programme. Because term two is a little disjointed in the first few weeks with all the public holidays and breaks, I want to encourage parents to help minimize the disruptions by not keeping pupils away from school unnecessarily. Term 2 has some really exciting additional activities taking place We will keep you apprised of these as the term unfolds, but here is a ‘taste’ of things to come: Our Grade 5 pupils will be engaged in the Real Life 4 Kids programme, which is a simulation game that exposes pupils to a number of “Real Life” experiences of living in a community. It is definitely worth popping your head into a classroom later in the term to see and ask more about how this programme works. The annual Walton’s Somerset House festival takes place this weekend. A number of our boys and girls will be taking part in the different sporting codes. This festival takes place over Friday and Saturday and is a wonderful opportunity for our pupils to develop their sporting abilities. Good luck to all the participants; enjoy the event and give of your best. You will also see that we are hosting a parent talk presented by Jill Back in the hall next Tuesday. More information has been sent to parents and an advert is in the newsletter. This talk came about through requests from parents and staff, and we feel it will help provide us with some insight into the skills we need for this responsible role we play in our child’s growth and development. The Annual Prep Science Expo is also just around the corner and I know that after the Easter Break, our Senior Prep pupils will be setting up their experiments. Please make an effort to pop in to the theatre during that week to see what our pupils have produced. More about this event will follow in next week’s newsletter. Last term we ended the term focusing on developing an Attitude Of Gratitude, which is a value I want us to encourage and not forget. It had a very profound and positive impact in many homes and is worth keeping in mind. For this week, I also want us to revisit one of our school values: Bridge House believes in a “Can Do” spirit, which energizes us as a community to have a positive outlook towards all we do! - 5 - A warm welcome to our new Bridge House staff members Mrs Jenny Wright has taken up her position as Senior Prep Phase Head and Gr 7 teacher. Mrs Wright hails from Gauteng and is delighted to move closer to her family in Cape Town. She and her husband Lawrence have two children, both at UCT. Welcome to the fair Cape! We know that you will be very happy at Bridge House. We welcome Mrs Bronwyn Barrow who has joined our Playschool to assist with the ever-growing numbers in this section of the school. Bronwyn has a deep love and passion for working with children of this age group. We wish her all the best in her new role. Marise Landman (music teacher) has tendered her resignation. She has been offered a wonderful opportunity to further her studies and work at the IEDC Bled School of Management in Slovenia. Marise will leave us at the end of May. She says has been blessed in her work at Bridge House! Marc Barrow Head of Prep Reading Eggs in Junior Primary We are sure that many of the children are enjoying their Reading Eggs subscription. As you might have noticed, many of the activities for the younger children require audio and listening, especially the placement tests. For this reason we would like to recommend that parents buy their children a set of headphones that can be used whether working at home or at school. We suggest that you, the parent, choose the brand and model and that it travels to and from school in a secure, safe container. Many thanks. The JP Team - 6 - Your Top 5 Parenting Skills What really is key to Good Parenting? Bridge House Prep will be presenting an evening of discussion around this topic, focusing on parents with pupils between the ages of 6 to 10. (While the presentation will have an age-appropriate focus, parents with children who fall out of this age range are more than welcome to attend.) The Top 5 1. Listening - What is this? Why we really do need to listen? 2. Self-Esteem - How do we actually build self-esteem? 3. Resilience and Grit – What are these really? The importance of Grit as opposed to pure Talent 4. Anger - We all get angry and we need to express this. How do we express anger without doing damage? 5. Whose problem is it? The Parents’? The School’s? The Student’s? Much of the above is based on the work of Haim Ginott and Faber & Mazlish and their wonderful concept of "How do we listen to our kids so that they'll talk to us-and talk to them so that they'll listen to us!" The discussion will be conducted by our guest speaker, Jill Back (MA Clinical Psychologist) Tel 082 326 0818 Email: [email protected] The evening will commence with a presentation on the topic, followed by a time for discussion, comments and questions. VENUE: Prep Hall, Bridge House DATE: Tuesday 15 April 2014 TIME: 18h00 To assist with setup please confirm your attendance by booking with Leonie [email protected] Samantha [email protected] or complete and return the attached reply slip. - 7 - An Invitation to an Easter Adventure in the Learning Commons!

From The JP Team! Closing times and bus times for the coming long weekends Given the interrupted nature of this term as a result of the various public holidays and extra days off, we really do want to keep the school programme as stable as possible – especially the academic schedule. We must also acknowledge that families will have made travel plans, especially for the Easter long weekend. Please note, therefore, that the academic school day in Prep and College will end at the normal time on Thursday 17 April and again on Friday 25 April, but there will be no sport on both of these afternoons. The buses will depart at 15h15 on Thursday 17th and at 14h40 on Friday 25th. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

This is traditionally an opportunity or parents, teachers and pupils to celebrate our Grade 7s’ readiness for their transition into the College, and to reminisce about their time in the Prep. Our 2015 Grade 7 Farewell was a memorable and beautiful occasion touched with special moments in a tropical island atmosphere. Our MCs for the evening were Jeanne Blaisse and Teubes van Niekerk. They also delivered the Grade 7 Farewell Address on behalf of their peers, and spoke with fondness of the highlights, the people, and all that went into making their experience in Bridge House Prep so unforgettable. Katja van Dyk and Lloyd Phillips gave the vote of thanks and then invited their mums and dads to join them on the dance floor in the traditional “first waltz” of the evening. Our heartfelt thanks go to all who contributed to making the evening exceptional, and special mention must be made of our Grade 6 waitrons who acquitted themselves so professionally.

The event will see ten South African teams take on ten sides from the rest of the world in a Ryder Cup-style competition, with the home schools determined to defend the crown they captured in the inaugural festival in 2018. KwaZulu-Natal outfit Glenwood, who finished 2018 as the third-ranked side in South Africa according to www.rugby365.com, will open the tournament against New Zealanders John McGlashan College, who will be making their debut at the festival. Another debutant, SACS from Cape Town, will face a World Schools Select XV, which is a late addition to the tournament following the withdrawal of the New South Wales Cavaliers from Australia. Gloucester-based Hartpury College, who were of the most impressive teams at the 2018 event having beaten Affies, begin their campaign against Gauteng side Monument High School. The British team will then go up against local powerhouse Paarl Gimnasium on the third day of the festival. “Last year really opened our eyes as to what the South African sides offered in terms of physicality and the way they played,” said Wayne Thompson, head coach of Hartpury College. “From what we’ve seen with Monument, they’re certainly very big boys so we know we’re going to have to up our game physically and hopefully the boys will be fully prepared for that.
