For Grade 6 – 8 children, we offer multi-grade educational experiences. We have developed courses that sometimes stretch over either two, or three grades. A multi-grade environment is special and very stimulating. Older kids have the opportunity to cement in concepts that might have been lost in earlier years, and gain self-confidence by helping younger ones. Younger children have the opportunity to see how complexity grows with increased proficiency.

Our aim is to engage with mathematics in a fun and creative way. As we learn together, you will learn to think critically and recognize that there is more than one way to solve a problem. At Green School we have a three-way approach to Mathematics – numbers, shapes, and relations. Our course is designed to enable you to build confidence in basic arithmetic, theoretical content, reasoning skills and problem solving. We hope that you fall in love with mathematics – because it is everywhere around us!
English is such an important subject because it teaches us to communicate in various ways, most of which we encounter in our daily lives. It also teaches us critical thinking, a skill that is very important in today’s society. I aim to use English to teach my students two main “umbrella” skills: firstly, to think critically about what they see and read every day, and secondly, to be effective communicators. These are both crucial skills for modern living. Explorers’ Club English will be integrating this knowledge and these skills into a different theme every two months.
In our course planning, we have incorporated the following four skills and learning areas:
Die Afrikaanse klas se doelwit gaan “kreatiewe en kragtige kommunikasie in konteks” wees. Ons gaan die volgende vaardighede deur middel van die studie en skep van verskeie tekste slyp om die doelstelling te bereik:
Dit bevorder leerders se letterkundige vaardighede, estetiese aanvoeling en verbeelding, sodat hulle oor die vermoëns beskik om hul leefwêreld te herskep, beter te begryp en hul verbeelding kan gebruik om self doeltreffend te kommunikeer.
Meet our amazing educators who are beautiful, innovative women, ready to take on a challenge and develop an exciting learning experience during lockdown.
They will share brave new worlds with your children, make them laugh, draw and write, and ignite their minds.

Goeiedag! My naam is Joanie Venter. Ek, my man, Riaan, en ons twee brakke, Lizzy en Siya (Mthanda Kolisi) kom van Potchefstroom af. Musiek en enige vorm van kreatiwiteit inspireer my. Ek is ‘n taalentoesias met ‘n passie vir onderrig en leer. Ek geniet moderne taaltoffies en om te help om Afrikaans uit brei deur om nuwe woorde te vorm (so terloops, het jy geweet dat die Afrikaanse woord vir iets op Google naslaan, “Googleloer” is?). Die Verkennersklub se Afrikaanse klasse vir onderskeidelik Graad 3-5 en Graad 6-8 sal deur my behartig word. Ons klas gaan ons op verskeie avonture neem, waarvan die eerste reis deur die oseaan gaan wees.
