Budding seamstresses

Shirley volunteered to help make the dresses for Kayra’s concert at Summerwood. Little did she know she was the only one! Shirley made 18 from scratch and altered 15. What a monumental task, but the dresses look great.

The girls were roped in to unpick some seams and removing the ribbons. Kept them quiet for a while.

Sunridge Park Netball

The Summerwood grade 1 girls took part in the sports festival at Sunridge Park primary. They lost heavily to Verkenner and beat Sunridge convincingly. They still have a way to go but the improvement from their first competition is remarkable. All the practice has paid off.

Ibhayi Rhythmic Gym Invitational

The girls took part in the Ibhayi rhythmic gym competition at the NMMU sport centre. We decided to keep them in level two while all their friends went up to level three. Until they can do their routines very well and win some medals they can stay in level two. Both of them made mistakes and dropped their hoop and/or ball so our decision seems to be justified. Everyone had a great time even though they did not get medals.

Kayra lost another tooth

After a long time wiggling the tooth finally came out. Don't know if the threats of extraction by pliers helped!
