Spike the crab!



There was great excitement at school today when a large giant black crab appeared in the music room!! Spike (named by the grade 1's) caused a huge commotion for all the children. One of the grade 2's was heard saying "I want to see its scissors!". Everyone was delighted to be able to see the crab up close and personal as it tried to catch us with it's pincers!

The crab has been safely returned to the Keurebooms River this afternoon.

Fire Drill at Greenwood

Great excitement last Friday at Greenwood when we had our school fire drill test! A big siren alerted the children that there was a 'fire'. Everyone then went single file out to the soccer field. While role call the sirens of the fire engines came down the Ladywood Road. Three fire engines arrived at the field. The firemen were dressed in their very heavy, hot looking suits. They answered all the questions the Greenwood learners had and even showed them how the hose sprays water as well as foam! Everyone then took off their shoes and socks and had a turn to walk through the foam! Thank you so much to the Plett Fire Department who came out to Greenwood!
