"Justice requires that
we should take steady care every day to yield his rights to every
person we come in contact with; that is, "to do unto others as we
would that they should do unto us: to hurt nobody by word or
deed"; therefore, we must show gentleness to the persons of
others, courtesy to their words, and deference to their opinions,
because these things are due.
We must be true and just in all our dealing."
- Charlotte M Mason -

Gardens Nook continues to nurture enthusiastic little minds and active little bodies through the joy of everyday play. Our children are growing stronger, developing confidence in their abilities and making the most of their preschool days as they climb, create, explore and socialise.
Even when busy little bodies take a moment to rest, curious minds remain wonderfully active! During these quieter moments, the children bring stories read in class to life through their illustrations. They thoughtfully depict characters with as much detail as possible, using facial expressions and other visual elements to portray different events, emotions and situations from the stories. It is a lovely reflection of their growing imagination, creativity and understanding.

Books are a rich source of nourishment and stimulation for the mind. Our minds naturally crave knowledge and are continually enriched by wonderful, thought-provoking and life-giving ideas. At Three Peaks, we believe in giving our children the very best by surrounding them with a wide and varied selection of books – exploring everything from space and science to wetlands and the veld, as well as the fascinating worlds of people and animals.
We draw on the knowledge and insights of experts in these fields, carefully exploring each subject to spark curiosity and deepen understanding. Beyond simply reading, we strive to bring learning to life through meaningful discussions, hands-on experiences and creative expression. In this way, we encourage our children to make connections, ask questions and develop a genuine appreciation for the wonderful world around them.

Please take note:
- School will end at 13:00 pm, Monday to Friday
- There are no school extra murals, external extra murals continue
- Sports hub continues on Wednesday
- Extended care is full so we wont be able to accommodate ad hoc bookings

Children are invited to wear civvies next Friday, 13th November.
Ice lollies will be available for purchase during break for R10.

This week we come to the Lord in prayer:
- acknowledging Him as Lord of our school
- thanking Him for His kindness and many blessings
- trusting Him for strength and peace over assessment week
|
"Do to others as you would have them do to you."
|
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend,
