Representatives from Singakwenza, a local non-profit organisation that focusses on the importance of Early Childhood Development, visited our assembly recently. As part of their programme, Singakwenza teaches how to make educational toys from waste. Pupils helped to demonstrate ball catching (with balls made from bread bags), skipping with ropes made from bread bags and ring toss (using yoghurt containers and lids). They learned how these games teach counting, sharing, patience and coordination skills.
On behalf of the Laddsworth Eco-Committee, Bianca Boshoff, pledged assistance in collecting the required items such as bread bags and bottle tops, she also expressed their interest in learning more about how to make these amazing toys from waste.

Her instructor, Deidre Fox, says it is almost unheard of to go up the Showjumping grades as fast as Shannon has. At the beginning of 2014 she had just started jumping 90cm; now just a year later she is competing 120cm against both Juniors and Adults.
