Music and Art
Music is loads of fun for all learners from Grade RR to Grade 4. Each week we focus on a different aspect of music to ensure that they always learn something new. We focus on ‘Songs of the week’, where we sing, dance and practise the assembly songs. We play percussion instruments and each learner gets a chance to play the djembe drums, which is always a favourite with the learners.
For music listening skills, learners listen to different pieces of music and identify differences in dynamics and intonation. They learn to identify and indicate the time signature in which a piece of music is written, as well as differentiating between major and minor chords. We also introduce the learners to basic music theory. The level of music theory varies according to their age group. We learn note names and note values. Learners learn to read basic music scores.
We don’t do any formal assessments in music. Instead, the music class is a safe space for learners where they can just be themselves and have FUN!
Extra-Curricular Activities
As far as sport is concerned, we aim to expose our children to as many activities as possible within the capacity of the school. We offer Swimming in the first term, Soccer, Netball, Chess and Scrabble in the second term and Athletics in the third term.
In the fourth term we focus on preparing children for their year-end exams. Culturally we offer participation in the School Choir, the Junior Revue and truly spectacular school productions as well as poetry and speech festivals.
The activities above are all included in the school fees.
Other extra-curricular activities that are not included in the school fees are Karate, Ballet, Life Soccer Clinics, A+Maths and Little Readers. Grade 6 and grade 7 learners are offered an opportunity to go on a tour to the Cape, every two years.
Established Traditions
Over the 70 plus years of its existence, Assumption Convent Primary School has established prized traditions that set us apart from any other school. Our annual Carols by Candlelight and Big Walk fundraiser, to name just two, are events that leave a lasting impact on children and parents, year after year.
Aftercare Facilities
Our aftercare facility is available from after school up to 18:00 in the afternoon. Children are provided a light meal after which they do homework and study under supervision of the aftercare facilitators.
Supervised play time is provided after the study session.
The aftercare is not included in the school fees. Pre-schoolers have access to the aftercare at a significantly reduced fee.
