Knysna Primary Food carnival – Grade 7 “English Tea Garden”

14th November 2011

What a fun day was had by the kids and parents of the school on the 28th October 2011 at the Knysna Food Carnival. Our project was the Grade 7’s “English Tea Garden”. We also had soccer, cricket, hockey, netball, spin tops and a skate park and last but not least our dance competition.

In order to have this we had to find sponsors and donations and as we all know times are tuff but the Knysna Business’s came to the party and sponsored wonderful prices for the kids. Our English Tea Garden was run by Denise Hutten and Jo Lellyett which was done beautifully. Thanks to Jerome Ackerman for doing the music throughout the night you are always willing to lend out a hand, thanks very much.

Thanks to the following parents who helped us out: Elaine Lawson, Estelani Stander, Mark Willemse, Greg Hodges, Jacque du Plessis, Shamera Omar, Diane Barnard, Retha & Riette, Deanna, Jackie Dodds, Redwaan Nerina, Monica Hodges, Nerissa, Mrs Damon’s Barbara De Wet. If I have left anyone out I am sorry but thanks very much.

Thanks Mark Willemse for umpiring for the children they really appreciated it.

The rugby was also a great success the fathers and Knysna Staff would play all night if they could have. Thanks WP for organising your Grade 7 boys to challenge the old guys. I am sure a lot of them woke up this morning with a bit of pain in muscles they forgot they had.

Last but not least to all the Knysna Staff and you the parents that took part in last night thank-you for that. The kids love to see all of us interacting together through sport and socialising. This is a good reflection on our support to Knysna Primary School keep it up you guys. Your kids love it!!

Dick Vermeil Said; “If you don’t invest very much, then defeat doesn’t hurt very much and winning is not very exciting.”

Let us all start to invest time and effort in to a school we believe in.
