Groblersdal Academy

Today our learners had an exciting visit from our local firefighters! 🚒🔥
As part of our People Who Help Us theme, they learned about the important role firefighters play in keeping our community safe. Thank you for an unforgettable and educational experience!

🕷️ Special Visitor Alert! 🕷️

Today our learners had the exciting opportunity to meet a Goliath Bird-Eating Spider! What an amazing hands-on learning experience.

The purpose of this special visit was to help our children understand the difference between an insect and a spider (arachnids). They learned that spiders have eight legs and two body parts, while insects have six legs and three body parts.

A big thank you to Megan Golden for bringing this fascinating creature to visit us and for helping make learning come alive. Our learners were curious, engaged, and absolutely amazed by this incredible spider!

🎈 International Day of Play 🎈
At our Pre-School, we believe that play is so much more than just fun—it is one of the most important ways young children learn and develop.

Through play, children build language and communication skills, strengthen their problem-solving abilities, develop creativity, learn to work with others, and improve their fine and gross motor skills.
Play also encourages confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.

Research shows that children learn best when they are actively engaged, exploring, discovering, and making sense of the world around them through meaningful play experiences.

Today, we celebrate the power of play and the incredible role it plays in helping young minds grow, learn, and thrive. 💛

🏐✨ MINI NETBALL – FINAL TOURNAMENT OF THE TERM ✨🏐

On 30 May, our U/7, U/8 and U/9 mini netball girls played their final tournament for the term at Julian Muller.

We played against Laerskool Julian Muller, Laerskool Marble Hall, Pietersburg-Oos, Laerskool Krugerpark and Klein Pikkewyne. Throughout the day, 10 matches were played, and our teams won 9 of them! A huge achievement for our U/7 A & B, U/8 A & B and U/9 A & B teams.

Our girls were true champions. They played with determination, teamwork and heart. Even though they were tired, they enjoyed every moment of the day and represented our school with pride. They also brought home prizes, which made the day even more special.

A very special thank you to all our coaches and staff for the hard work, dedication and positivity throughout the term. Thank you for the early Saturday mornings, leaving the school at 05:00 by bus, and still giving your absolute best with a smile on your faces. Your commitment and love for the children do not go unnoticed.

Thank you as well to all the parents and supporters who cheered loudly and encouraged our girls every step of the way here in our beautiful town of Groblersdal. Your support means so much to the teams.

We are incredibly proud of every player. Thank you for a wonderful mini netball term filled with growth, teamwork, laughter and unforgettable memories. 💙🏐👏
