Geagte Ouers/Dear Parents Die tweede kwartaal van 2017 was ‘n besondere/uitdagende/hartseer kwartaal. Vir ons as EVERFAMILIE was dit swaar om van

Marilee afskeid te neem. Ons is besig om vir haar ‘n spesiale plekkie op ons herinneringsmuur gereed te maak. Dit het ons weer

bewus gemaak van die ander EVERS se name wat ook daar verskyn. Ons kinders is kosbaar en ons moet hulle vertroetel en

waardeer.

In the Western Cape, this term, we were also confronted with a few FIRST experiences:

• The severe drought in the Western Cape really hit most of us very hard. Very few of us have experienced drought before

and we had to cope with the reality of Level 4 water restrictions. The ever-shrinking dam levels were visible for all to see

and hopefully most of us now understand what it is to be WATER WISE.

• The unprecedented closure of all schools due to the prediction of a massive storm, most people don’t realize that the

most severe part just “slipped” past the Western Cape.

• The dreadful fire in Knysna, where the fire swept through the community, devastating many homes. We are aware of

previous fires in informal communities, but the reality that nature can and will strike anywhere, was very evident in Knysna.

Ons raak daarom vir ‘n oomblik stil vir almal vir wie dit ‘n moeilike kwartaal was. Ons is daarvan bewus dat daar heelwat ander

personeel/ouers en kinders is vir wie hierdie kwartaal ook hartseer

oomblikke ingehou het. Weet net dat hier altyd iemand by die skool

is wat bereid is om te luister en ons bid vir elke gesin.

• TEMA VAN DIE KWARTAAL / THEME OF THE TERM

• EERLIKHEID / HONESTY

We started and completed the paving and the laying of

the grass in front of the school. We are nearing the end

of a safety project which was started in 2013. We needed

to upgrade all our existing walkways and tar play surfaces

most in disrepair) to something more suitable for our

learners. We decided on a combination of paving (which

can easily be fixed when we have root damage) and

artificial “grass” surfaces which could extend the “softer”

playing surfaces for our children.

Ons het nou die kunsgrasprojek voltooi en het nog net ‘n

paar stukkies teer en beton wat binne die volgende twee

jaar aangespreek sal word. Hierdie was ‘n redelike lang

projek, maar almal stem saam dat dit baie waarde

toegevoeg het tot die veiligheid en genot van ons kinders

en ook ouers wat op ons terrein rondbeweeg. Plaveisel

word ook deur die WKOD aanbeveel aangesien dit

toelaat dat die water deursyfer in die grond – op teer vloei

dit dikwels weg in die stormwaterstelsels.

Another project nearing completion is the STEM-classroom and the Grade 4-6 Laboratory. This project was started in 2014, where

the existing bathrooms were converted into classrooms. These classrooms have been in use for the past two years and the interior

conversion was started during the latter part of 2016. The project has been completed and our learners will start using both venues

as from the third term.

Dit was op sportgebied ‘n vol kwartaal en die EVERS het hulself goed laat geld. Soos altyd, het ons leerders ‘n taai stryd op die

sportveld teen ons drie makroskole gehad en in sommige gevalle baie goeie vertonings gelewer. Een skoolhoof (buurskool) was

“verbaas” oor ons Grondslagfasenetbal se vertonings op die veld. Ons spanne het teen die ander skole baie goeie vertonings

gelewer.

Our new MARIMBA BAND created great excitement this year. This has been a dream for many years and our players are in full

swing and doing very well. There might even be a surprise performance at the EVERVARIA this year. We had more than 320

learners participating in the Eisteddfod. They competed in different disciplines which also included Art, Drama and Music.

Ons is baie trots op ons Seniorkoor wat deurgedring het na die finale rondte van die ATKV-kompetisie. Ons koor is vanjaar in baie

opsigte ‘n NUWE koor - ‘n nuwe jong dirigent (Madri Gerber) en nuwe stemme in die groot koor van 99 leerlinge. Hulle vertrek vroeg

in Augustus na Pretoria waar hulle aan die ATKV-Applous se finale rondte deelneem.

Our ACADEMIC OLYMPIAD is one of our big fundraisers this year. All our learners are very motivated – please support them! This

project will be completed in the first week of the third term. The exciting term of DAMUS then lies ahead of us. Our school ’s motto

(DAMUS – WE GIVE) gives us the opportunity to focus on those who have less than we do. We first look at those individuals in our

own school community, before we contribute to other communities and/or charities.

Ons wil afsluit deur almal te bedank wat bygedra het om die kwartaal so ‘n groot sukses te maak - ouers, administratiewe personeel,

onderwysers, terreinwerkers, die Nasorgpersoneel en vele meer. Sonder julle sou die kwartaal nie sy onderskeie hoogtepunte

gelewer het nie.

‘n Spesiale woord van dank aan daardie groepie ouers wat die moeite doen om ‘n e-pos te skryf waarin julle óf die skool, óf ‘n

spesifieke personeellid bedank. ‘n Mens is gou om te kla en te raas. Dit is egter die positiewe terugvoering wat ons aanspoor om

nog beter te wees en op so ‘n manier nog meer vir ons kinders te doen.

I also want to thank the one or two parents who help us with coaching sport. It is so refreshing to engage with those parents who

offer to assist instead of complaining, as they understand the challenges of coaching sport where young, developing children are

involved. Our EVERS are still developing their talent and are at different skill levels and are often in the same team.

(Please remember – we are always on the lookout for people (parents) who are passionate about coaching sport (rugby,

hockey, netball, athletics). Please contact us. You must be available during our school’s timeslots).

Ons wil graag hierdie brief afsluit met ‘n baie positiewe storie. Ses

van ons seuns was so twee weke gelede in ‘n baie ernstige situasie

terwyl hulle in die tonnels onder die kasteel op toer

was.

Die artikel het in die Tygerburger verskyn.

‘n Kaapse ma het geweet as sy haar seuntjie se hand los, sou

hy in die ondergrondse tonnels verdrink. “Dit was verskriklik.

Ek het nie gedink ons sal dit ooit uitmaak nie,” het Elizma

de Jager vertel nadat sy en ‘n groep vriende en hul kinders

nouliks Saterdagoggend (10 Junie) ‘n vreesaanjaende

fratsvloed oorleef het. “Jy is ondergronds vasgekeer met water wat

om jou styg. En die mense spoel weg. En jy’s onder die grond en

jy’t hierdie kindjie wat jy moet probeer red.” Elizma en haar sewejarige seun, Xander, het as deel van ‘n maat se verjaarsdagvieringe

’n ondergrondse toer van die tonnels onder Kaapstad by die Kasteel de Goede Hoop onderneem. Die ses seuns wat die partytjie

bygewoon het, is almal in graad 1 aan Laerskool Eversdal in die noordelike voorstede van Kaapstad. Ses ouers het hulle vergesel en

sowat 13 ander mense, waarvan die meeste toeriste was, het ook die toer onderneem.

So was daar darem hierdie kwartaal ook baie mooi stories te vertel van die ouers en leerders van Laerskool Eversdal.

Mag u almal hierdie vakansie die geleentheid gebruik om êrens ‘n tydjie met u gesinne te kan rus en ontspan.

CURRICULUM / KURRIKULUM

GRONDSLAGFASE / FOUNDATION PHASE

Aristoteles was ‘n wyse man en siener van formaat,

want na al die jare is hierdie aanhaling van hom

steeds geldig en nommerpas wat die akademie

aanbetref.

Die Grade deel graag hul hoogtepunte met u. Die

Akademie is ‘n deurlopende en herhalende

kringloop wat die kurrikulum bestudeer, vaslê,

hersien, assesseer, ontleed en dan die sirkel met

opvolgwerk voltrek.

GRAAD 1

The Grade 1 learners are no longer small fish in the

big sea and have settled in well in the school

environment, taking full advantage of what it has to

offer. We had a special visit from Kipper, one of the

characters in the reading series we are currently

working through. She marched in with colourful hair

and high heels that you could never even dream of

walking in. She got the Evers involved in making the

cake from the book, which included some strange

ingredients: tomato sauce, jam and beans. Of

course, this wasn’t a very tasty cake, nor did she

follow the recipe correctly, but this encouraged the

Evers to think outside the box. It was a fun break

from the usual Friday school programme as the

tasting of the cake, with its delicious outrageous

pink icing, topped this cheerful learning experience.

We are now looking forward to August, when we will

attend the Kipper show at the Artscape!

Die weeklikse kunsles bied aan die leerders ‘n wye

spektrum van vaardighede. Hulle ruimtelike –

kreatiewe -, organisatoriese - en luistervaardighede,

sowel as die uitbreiding van algemene kennis, word

aangespreek in die skep van ‘n prent.

GRAAD 2 The second term of the Grade 2s, was a full and

busy term academically. Revision of Grade 1 work

was concluded and we settled down to face the

many challenges this term brought with it. Our

Mathematics number range increased and new

concepts, such as halving, were taught.

In Huistaal was `n groot hoogtepunt die mondeling

oor plaas- en wildediere. Leerders het baie

algemene kennis opgedoen en uitstekende

hulpmiddels is aangewend. Die Eisteddfod is ook

om die draai en heelwat maats is besig om hard te

oefen aan hul gedigte. Die Graad 2-groep gaan

weereens aan die Groepleeskategorie deelneem.

During Life Skills, we used iPads to design a book

using Book Creator. Learners were shown how to

reflect their work on the interactive board. During

computer lessons, the focus was on the keyboard

and its functions. The learners can now type

comfortably in Word and even copy and paste a

picture from the Internet. One of the focuses this

term was Cyber Security and we look forward to

what lies ahead in the third term.

GRAAD 3

Hierdie was in alle opsigte ‘n baie leersame en

goeie kwartaal vir al die Graad 3-leerders. Huistale

is wonderlik uitgebou met groepwerk en mondeling

het bestaan uit ‘n opvoering wat oor enige sprokie

kon handel. Leerders het dit ongelooflik baie geniet.

In our Additional Languages, learners had the

opportunity to do research about space and had to

imagine a space journey. They all did so well and

they did us proud with their ingenuity.

Tydens Wiskunde is daar hard gewerk aan die

digitale tyd en daar is fluks vordering gemaak. Ons

werk reeds in ‘n hoë getalgebied met betrekking tot

al die aspekte van Wiskunde.

Life Skills was the highlight this term, with many

interesting activities. During Art, the learners

created a beautiful presentation about an

autumn leaf. They also had the opportunity to

fun during our creative time this term.

Evergym is beslis ‘n moet vir ons leerders en hulle

kan nie wag vir Maandae en Donderdae om

hulle op die veld te gaan uitleef nie.

This term was a success in all areas. The learners

had the best experience ever and all the work was

completed in true Eversdal style.

INTERSENFASE / INTERSEN PHASE

GRAAD 4

The Grade 4 group experienced examinations for

the first time in their school career. This proved to

be an enriching experience for both the learners

and the teachers.

Gedurende die kwartaal het die Afrikaanse Graad

4-klasse mondeling gepraat oor iets besonders wat

hulle al gemaak het. Ons het die instruktiewe teks

bestudeer. Die hoeveelheid verbeelding wat die

leerders gebruik het met die maak van die koekies,

sepies en selfs terte, was merkwaardig. Die

leerders in die klas het gebruik gemaak van video’s

en powerpoints as hulpbronne. Hulle het dit vreeslik

geniet deur na die ander se idees en resepte te

luister. Een van die leerders in die Gr. 4A5-klas het

vir die hele groep sakkies met koekies en ’n resep

as voorbeeld gegee. Dit was sommer `n lekker

bederf en die klas het potensiaal om “Masterchef

Eversdal” as ’n kompetisie te begin. Ons leuse in

die klas was: “Cookies make the world a better

place”.

The Grade 4s planned and made their first structure

in Technology. This structure was built exclusively

out of paper and proved that paper can be very

strong, and carry a remarkable amount of weight, if

the necessary supports are in the correct place.

Through practical experience, the strength of paper

was discovered.

Skeppende Kuns, waar hulle ‘n opvoering in groepe

moes doen deur perkussie te gebruik, het ook vir

baie pret en opwinding gesorg. Om op te "dress"

en ‘n groot lawaai te maak met ma se plastiek-

bakke en panne, is mos enige Ever se droom.

GRAAD 5

What a fantastic start to a new term! Our Grade 5

learners attended the SOS camp in Villiersdorp.

For some it was their first sleep-over, away from

home. We all returned safely with many stories to

tell.

Op akademiese gebied het verskeie van die

leerders pragtige kunsprente in die Kuns- en

Kultuurklas opgetower. In die STEM-klas het hul

ook hierdie kwartaal papiermaché bakke gemaak

wat deel is van die NWT-punt.

We concluded this term with a formal examination.

For some it was a stressful time and for others a

time to gather their thoughts and receive recognition

for a job well done.

GRAAD 6

Die Graad 6-leerders het gedurende hierdie

kwartaal op verskeie gebiede presteer en ‘n

positiewe bydrae gelewer.

Over the past few weeks, our learners enjoyed doing various projects in the STEM class. They started off with Scratch coding, where they are developing their own game. After that the learners had to build water-filters, as part of their Natural Science project, by using various materials found at home. Currently, they are building a replica of any stadium in the world and may only use paper and cardboard, combined with the strengthening techniques they’ve acquired. We are all looking forward to the exciting projects planned for Term 3.

Ons Evers lees lekker! Soek jy ‘n boek, sal die

Graad 6-leerders wat Biblioteekprefekte is, gou-gou

vir jou sê waar in die Biblioteek jy dit kan kry. Hulle

offer menige pouse op om baie getrou hul deel in

die Biblioteek te gaan doen en elkeen te help wat

boeke wil uitneem. Ons sien julle harde werk raak!

Throughout the term, our Grade 6 learners proudly

represented their school on many different

platforms. They achieved impressive results in

hockey, netball, rugby and chess respectively. We

are also currently busy fine-tuning all our poems,

group reading and prepared reading for the

Eisteddfod next term. Our Grade 6 learners who

form part of the senior choir are very excited as they

were chosen to represent Eversdal at the ATKV

competition next term. They are working extremely

hard and we wish them the best of luck. After a long

term, filled with academics and very exhausting two

weeks of examinations, we wish all our learners a

happy holiday!

GRADE 7:

Ons moes afskeid neem van een van ons dinamiese leerders, Marilee Louw. Sy was 'n aktiewe en begaafde leerling van Eversdal.

Our thoughts are with Marilee's family and friends

during this time. May you find peace knowing that

our thoughts and prayers are with you. May your

loving memories of Marilee bring you comfort,

warmth and peace.

Hierdie kwartaal het almal die geleentheid gehad

om as deel van Skeppende Kuns 'n drama te help

skryf en op te voer. Die kostuums en slim gebruik

van humor was vir almal groot pret.

They also enjoyed working together during

Technology periods while building cellphone towers

which had to blend in with the environment.

In the Natural Science class, young scientists used

indicators to test whether substances are acids,

bases or neutral. They were amazed by the colour

changes of, e.g. Litmus paper and Red cabbage

indicator. Some were also intrigued by the elements

of the Periodic Table.

Die Gr. 7's besef nou duidelik hul groter

verantwoordelikheid op pad na die hoërskool. Voor

die eksamen is daar hard gewerk aan

studiemetodes, opsommings vir linker- en

regterbreiners en goeie tydsbestuur.

OPERASIONELE BESTUUR/

OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT

Te midde van al die bedrywighede van die kwartaal,

kan ons terugkyk op vele suksesvolle projekte en

aksies wat plaasgevind het en voltooi is.

To run a school effectively one can only be

successful if everybody buys into the vision of

management - a vision not only on paper, but also

visible in and around the school. It also entails hard

work and dedication. In order to appreciate and

honour our school and all the activities, we need to

recognise everybody's valuable input.

Alles wat in en om die skool gebeur, elke aksie, hoe

klein of hoe gering, het êrens begin, iemand het

daaraan gedink en dit tot uitvoering gebring. Dit

motiveer almal tot aksie, asook bewys van

individuele- of groepsvermoë, of sukses.

Sit back and relax, enjoy all the highs and individual

successes of Term 2. May we all be inspired to

always give of our best for our beloved school!

CULTURE / KULTUUR

Die tweede kwartaal is weereens gekenmerk as ‘n besige Kultuurkwartaal.

ATKV-REDENAARS Laerskool Eversdal het vanjaar elf sprekers in

hierdie nasionale kompetisie ingeskryf.

Jean-Simon de Witt, Nicola Caldwell, asook Raani

Hussain het deurgedring na die semifinale rondte

wat op 26 Mei by Hoërskool Parel Vallei gehou is.

By hierdie geleentheid het Nicola Caldwell haarself

onderskei en deurgedring na die finale rondte wat in

Augustus by ATKV Goudini aangebied sal word.

EISTEDDFOD

A large number of learners have enrolled for

participation in Eisteddfod during July and August.

The value of these appearances should never be

underestimated. We trust that everyone will do their

best.

BYBELVASVRA

Ons spanne het reeds deurgedring na die tweede

rondte waarin hulle eerste en tweede in die Wes-

Kaap geëindig het. Baie geluk aan die ag leerders!

Hulle is tans besig om voor te berei vir rondte twee

wat weer oor totaal nuwe gedeeltes handel . Sterkte

ook daarvoor.

EVERDRAMA

Mnr. Nortier se groep het vanjaar vir vier

toneelfeeste ingeskryf, met die toneelstuk getiteld

"Skoolsiek." Die toneelgroep bestaande uit 16 lede,

is hard aan die oefen. The Ever Drama group,

directed by Mrs Spangenberg, is developing their

acting skills through various activities. They had

their first performance on World Book Day, in the

hall.

EVERJAM

Alhoewel ons baie min kans gekry het om

bymekaar te kom, het ons wel lekker liedjies geleer

en baie pret gehad. Ons wens elkeen van julle 'n

welverdiende ruskansie toe en sal volgende

kwartaal weer die leisels vat waar ons dit hierdie

kwartaal gelos het.

KOOR What a busy term! Our Junior Choir took part in

three competitions this term. Eerste was die

Tygerberg Eisteddfod en waar die koor ‘n

gemiddeld van 81,3% behaal het. Our second

performance was at the Stellenbosch Eisteddfod

where we received gold (80-85%). Dankie aan ons

wonderlike ouers wat daardie oggend die

busbestuurder moes help toe hy nie sy beplande

roete rondom die skool kon volg nie. Our last

performance was the ATKV Applous where we also

received gold (80-100%). Ons Juniorkoor het baie

hard gewerk en dit het vrugte afgewerp. Baie geluk!

Dit was ‘n besige kwartaal met talle optredes en

kompetisies vir die Seniorkoor. Ons eerste optrede

was op 4 Mei by Hugo Lambrechts in Hoërskool

Bellville se Laerskole Koorfees. We participated in

the Tygerberg Eisteddfod where we obtained 85,3%

and received Gold Plus at the Stellenbosch

Eisteddfod. Ons het ook aan die ATKV Applous-

kompetisie deelgeneem waar ons goud ontvang en

deurgedring het na die finale rondte in Pretoria op 3

Augustus. Die 99 koorlede is baie opgewonde oor

die toer, en dit sal vir baie van hulle ‘n eerste keer

op ‘n vliegtuig wees. We are very excited and hard

at work preparing for the final round, which is our

biggest competition of the year.

EVERVARIA

Our school’s very own talent competition took place

on Wednesday, 28 June 2017. Learners

participated in one of two age groups and entered in

one of the four different categories. Both of our

Marimba bands performed and we had a surprise

performance by some of our teachers! We were

privileged to welcome Emile Minnie as one of our

judges. Our guest artist was the very talented Dave

Reynolds, who performed on his steel pans. What

an eventful evening!

KUNS

Grondslagfase:

Graad 1 tot 3 het aan die begin van die kwartaal die

pragtigste kunswerke geskep onder die tema ‘Trots

Suid-Afrikaans’. Ons pragtige, veelkleurige vlag het

omtrent aandag geniet!

The Grade 1s created beautiful works of art by

drawing, colouring and painting bowls of fruit. We

painted beautiful Autumn leaves and are currently

creating a lovely ‘vegetable patch’! We will end the

term with a special tea-cup artwork.This is indeed

an exciting creative experience!

Die Graad 2’s het elkeen ‘n foto van ‘n wildedier

ontvang en die MOOISTE replika daarvan geteken!

Die kunswerk is omraam met veelkleurige patrone.

Herfsblare in pastelle het gevolg en tans is ons

besig met die mooiste kunswerke van uile!

Grade 3s created lovely Autumn artworks. Warm

pastel colours were complimented by cold back-

ground colours. Brightly coloured insects were

created next. What fun! We will end the term by

drawing and painting beautiful winter scenes and

trees!

Intermediêre- en Senior fase:

Let no pupil in Eversdal Primary ever again claim

they are not artistic!

Wat ‘n opwindende, besige kwartaal het ons nie

beleef nie! Ons het afgeskop deur die natuur te

respekteer en waterloosheid te illustreer met die

tema “Droogte”. Na ‘n deeglike bespreking en

sleutelnotas het die leerders droogtesketse gemaak

met slegs houtskool en rooi, oranje, geel en wit

bordkryt. Asemrowend wat die kinders kon skep!

Die Graad 4’s het weggesring met ‘n optiese illusie

kunswerk! Hierna het hulle ‘n natuurlike of

organiese vorm kunswerk voltooi in pastelle en

waterverf, alias ‘n spinnerak! Currently, we are busy

with brightly coloured, abstract artworks in

geometrical shapes. This was indeed an exciting,

creative term!

The Grade 5s followed up with colourful pastel

graffiti and Grade 6 made mandalas with fineliners

– all with the theme “Proudly South African!”.

Grade 7s kicked off by making a monochromatic

still life with musical instruments, followed by

scraper board etches of the same still life. The

Grade 7s are the only learners who will have their

Visual Art assessed this term.

Assessering vir die Graad 5’s het ritmewerk met

perkussie ingesluit en die Graad 6’e het

voorleggings gemaak oor verskillende danstipes

van regoor die wêreld.

Laastens het sowat 40 Evers deelgeneem aan die

Jeugdaguitstalling by Willowbridge Sentrum.

Eversdal is met trots verteenwoordig!

MUSIC DEPARTMENT

Ons musiekleerders werk fluks voort, elkeen op sy

eie program. Sewe leerders het Unisa- eksamens

afgelê en almal het ‘n punt van 80% of hoër behaal.

Veels geluk! Die volgende sessie van eksaminering

vind gedurende Augustus plaas. Heelwat leerders

gaan ook musiekitems lewer vir die Eisteddfod.

SLAGORKES / MARIMBA Ons Graad 2- en 3-slagorkesgroepe kom elke week

vol ywer bymekaar om voor te berei vir die

Luisteruur wat in die vierde kwartaal sal plaasvind.

We expanded our groups at the beginning of the

term. The Grade 2 group now consists of 16

learners and the Grade 3 group of 13 learners. Die

kinders is altyd baie entoesiasties om te oefen en

ons is trots om te sien hoe goed hulle vorder en hoe

hulle musikaal ontwikkel.

Our two marimba bands each have a weekly

practise session. Although all of these learners

have very busy schedules, they never miss out! Die

leerders gaan van krag tot krag en die oefensessies

lewer goeie resultate.

LEERDERSAKE / LEARNER MATTERS

Skolierpatrollie: Die Skolierpatrollie bestaan uit ‘n groep Graad 6-

leerders wat baie getrou, elke dag, op hulle pos is.

Hulle sorg dat elkeen, selfs ouers ook, veilig die pad

kan oorsteek. Vroegoggend, in die donker, sien jy al

die glimbaadjies en hoor die fluitjie blaas. Dit maak

nie saak of dit reën en of die son skyn nie – hulle is

getrou op hul pos.

Eco Club:

This term, our main focus was on recycling. We got

together and talked about what we want to do for

our school, by the end of this year, and how we are

going to achieve it. Our outing for this term was to

Eden on the Bay. We went to clean the beach and

discuss how we could use the rubbish, to protect

our environment. We are looking forward to the new

term.

Graad 7-Leerdersake

Ons Gr. 7- Evers is op verskeie terreine betrokke by

die skool.

Die Everraad woon getrou opleidingsgeleenthede

voor skool by. Hulle besef dat 'n positiewe houding

bepaal wat jy kan bereik. Daarom fokus hulle op

oplossings en nie op die probleme nie en op hul eie

verantwoordelikhede, eerder as hul regte.

The Character Building Committee introduced the

value of trust to the school. Big Brothers and Sisters

went to all the classes to discuss what it means to

be reliable, dependable and honest.

Some committees work behind the scenes. The

Neatness Committee promotes neat and clean

classrooms and a spotless school ground. The

Sport Committee hands out programmmes during

sport activities. They also give us regular feedback

during assembly.

Die Kultuurkomitee is betrokke by die Evervaria en

het almal behoorlik opgewonde gemaak met hulle

kreatiewe bemarking tydens 'n saalbyeenkoms.

The Evernet is now on the web! Go to our school's

website and click on Communication/ENN to find

the latest articles, photos and videos by members of

the Evernet and Photo Committee.

The Cyber Wellness Committee made people

aware of safety on the internet by handing out

bookmarks to people visiting the school during sport

activities.

Sommige van ons leerders neem ook deel aan die

Bybelvasvra. Die spanne het ‘n eerste en tweede

plek behaal in die Wes-Kaap en berei nou voor vir

die tweede rondte.

MENSLIKE HULPBRONNE / HUMAN

RESOURCES

Hierdie kwartaal was ons personeel behoorlik op ‘n

drafstap om al die aksies en aktiwiteite wat

plaasgevind het, seepglad te laat verloop. Ons sê

dankie aan elke personeellid wat, ongeag die

uitdagings, op watter platform ook al, sy/haar deel

bygedra het om ‘n sukses daarvan te maak.

Ons deel in Mev. Deolien Hoffmann en haar man se

vreugde oor die geboorte van hul babaseuntjie,

Hugo. Mev. Muriel Blaauw neem waar in Gr. 1A3

tot en met die einde van die derde kwartaal.

Still in the Foundation Phase, we would like to

congratulate Mss Aimeé and Megan Henry as well

as Mrs Jayde Odendaal, who graduated this term.

Ons hoop dat al die harde werk wat sommige van

ons personeel hierdie kwartaal aan studies moes

wy, vrugte sal afwerp.

We would like to thank our Support Staff for all their

hard work, in keeping the school neat and tidy. We

thank you for bringing your best to work every

single day.

BEMARKING/MARKETING

FONDSINSAMELINGSPROJEKTE Die EVERAKSIE, onder leiding van Dialouise

Terblanche, het hierdie kwartaal weer hard gewerk

om pryse te bekom, wat as motivering vir die

Akademiese Olimpiade kan dien. Met die ter perse

gaan van hierdie skrywe, was die projek nog nie

afgehandel nie.

LOYALTY CARDS For the month of April and May the school received

R10 721 from MY SCHOOL (Woolworths, Engen,

ToysRUs, Power24.co.za, Reggies, Waltons, Supa

Quick, Altech Netstar, Kalahari.com and Jack’s

Paint & Hardware). The other two loyalty card

projects, namely MAKRO (Cape Gate) and

SPECTRA, are still going strong. Please continue to

support these three projects, as you have done in

the past. Annually, the school earns quite a

substantial amount of money through these projects

without costing our parents a cent.

LIEFDADIGHEID Knysna fires We are all aware of the inferno that swept through

the Knysna/Plettenberg Bay area recently. We

want to thank everybody who supported the

school’s effort to collect supplies for the victims who

lost their homes in this tragedy. We took the

supplies to Die Burger’s office and they transported

it to Knysna, on 17 June.

Mandela Day (18 July) In order to keep the memory of Nelson Mandela

alive, the Grade 1, 2 and 3 learners collected tinned

food and warm blankets for animals in rescue

centers this term. The Grade 4 to 7 learners will

bring sandwiches to school on 29 June, which will

be handed out at Klipheuwel Primary School.

Rolstoele vir kinders Ons projek om plastiek botteldoppies bymekaar te maak om rolstoele vir behoeftige kinders aan te koop, gaan steeds voort. BORGE

Ons het hierdie kwartaal van die volgende nuwe

borge ondersteuning ontvang:

• NCE Direct (Nick Thomatos) – Platinum

• Webafrica - Platinum

• HB Embroidery (Hannerie du Toit) – Goud

• Hansel (Charl Hesse) – Silwer

• Cheese Traders (Charl Hesse) – Silwer

• Paintmaster (Renier Louw) – Silwer

• Afco (Yvan Torannini) – Silwer

Eversdal sê baie, baie dankie! Sonder

ondersteuners van hierdie kaliber sal dit nie

moontlik wees om ons skool se fasiliteite so mooi te

verbeter, of ons leerders so spoggerig geklee op

toere te stuur nie.

ICT-DEPARTEMENT

We’ve completed the installation of our fibre

backbone and are now awaiting the arrival of our

100mb fibre line. This will be distributed throughout

the entire school, allowing all the learners to reap

the benefits of having faster access to their online

resources.

We have also expanded our CCTV security system,

with more cameras on the inside of the building and

the Aftercare, as well as on our fields.

The educators are starting to upload content onto

OneNote so that the learners may have access to

the learning material from anywhere in the world. It

will take time to implement this project, but we are

currently very busy with a project regarding our

digital curriculum.

We are looking forward to seeing our learners

reaping the benefits of the implementation of

technology within our curriculum.

FINANCES / FINANSIES

Effective management of our school’s finances and

resources are pivotal to the success of all

educative, sport and cultural activities hosted at

Eversdal Primary School. Therefore, the financial

committee has been committed in taking

responsibility and ensuring efficient, effective, and

transparent use of financial and other resources

within the school. Monthly and annual reporting is a

key part of keeping the school’s financial systems

secure and successful

A big thank you to the Finance Office for presenting

accurate financial data quickly and efficiently,

thereby helping Senior Management, the Finance

Committee, and the Governing Body to make

effective and informed decisions. The 2018 budget

process has started and our aim is to keep it

aligned with the school’s strategic strategy.

Ons wil ook graag van die geleentheid gebruik

maak om Mnr. Arangies en almal betrokke by die

suksesvolle voltooiing van die speelarea voor die

skool, hartlik te bedank. Die speelarea met

kunsgras is ‘n groot verbetering en kan nou meer

effektief aangewend word!

Die skoolfondskomitee is tans besig om ‘swak’

betalers op te volg. Ons wil graag ons ouers wat

getrou skoolfonds betaal, hartlik bedank!

Parents are liable to pay school fees! Therefore, if

you are struggling to make school payments and

need to make arrangements, please contact the

Finance Office or send an e-mail to

schoolfees@eversdal.org.za

PROCURA

SOSIALE-, EMOSIONELE- EN

LEERONDERSTEUNING:

In die Procura-gang het dit die afgelope kwartaal

heel goed gegaan. Die Ondersteuningsklasse

(soggens) en die Didaktiese Hulpklasse (middae)

het voortgegaan, met heelwat nuwe leerders wat

hierdie kwartaal, soos die Wiskunde en Huistaal

moeiliker geraak het, ingeskakel het. Sommige

leerders het net vir versterking van een konsep

ingeskakel, terwyl ander meer langtermyn

ingeskakel het.

The learners who make use of concessions

(academic accommodation) were also taken good

care of. Those who require a reader, were

successfully phased into the classroom with the use

of iPads. Those learners who need scribes, made

use of private scribes.

On the emotional level the emphasize has been on

bully behaviour and stress. We are currently

focusing on bully behaviour in depth. Dr Hessie

Traut was the speaker at the Parent Teacher

Support Group’s meeting on 24 May, where she

discussed exam related stress in children. Mr Henk

Arangies also led a group discussion with the Grade

7 learners, on this topic, before their exams started.

Hier in Procura doen ons moeite om ‘n

ondersteunende hand uit te steek na almal waarvan

ons weet, wat dit nodig het en koester ons ons

Evers wanneer die lewe ingewikkeld raak.

BIBLIOTEEK

Die nuwe kwartaal het skaars begin, toe heers hier

op die Everplaas ‘n groot opgewondenheid oor

Wêreldboekedag! Wat ‘n heerlike dag vir al ons

Evers! Op 25 April het al wat leef en beef aangetrek

soos hulle gunsteling storieboekkarakter. Elizabeth

Wasserman, bekende kinderboekskrywer, het by

ons kom kuier, die biblioteekmonitors het ‘n kort

opvoering in die saal gehou, ons het boekliedjies

gesing en video’s gekyk! Gr. 6E2 en ‘n paar graad

1-leerders het ‘n “Mannequin”-video in die biblioteek

gemaak.

A Book Sale hosted by The Book Box was held

from 28 – 29 March, with many wonderful choices

of both Afrikaans and English fiction and non-fiction

books.

International Children’s Book Week was celebrated

between 1 – 7, May with special book marks and

colouring pictures available in the library.

Primêre Skool Paardekop by Citrusdal het ons hulp

met boeke vir hul nuwe biblioteek, wat in aanbou is,

gevra en sommer binne ‘n week het ons bokse vol

boeke, legkaarte, tydskrifte, speletjies en

inkleurboeke gehad! Baie dankie aan almal wat

hiervoor so ruim bygedra het en nog steeds doen!

Ons kon ‘n heerlike Skolebiblioteekdag by

Laerskool Welgemoed op Woensdag, 14 Junie

bywoon en het wenke gekry vir leesbevordering,

fasiliteite en fondse. Ons het ook geluister na

bekende skrywers, gehoor van nuwe boeke, asook

wenke en idees gedeel met ander bibliotekaresses

van omliggende skole.

Many new books were acquired in order to keep our

learners reading and to provide for a variety of

interests and needs. Our library monitors were kept

on their toes during break times, but they did well!

Thank you! We are looking forward to an exciting

third term!

GEBOUE EN TERREIN

This term has been very exciting with regard to our

physical amenities. We’ve completed our nets in the

quad, enabling our junior hockey teams to play their

matches on the turf. We will soon be painting

permanent lines on the turf. This will enable the rest

of our hockey teams to have practises on the turf.

The play area in front of the school has also been

upgraded with new paving and synthetic grass. This

is much safer for our learners to play on and has

significantly enhanced the aesthetic value of the

front of the school.

We will be commencing with quite a few projects

next term. We will keep our parents informed about

all the new projects we have planned for the rest of

the school year.

RUGBY

So het ons vining die einde van die eerste helfte van die seisoen bereik. Die aanvang van die tweede kwartaal het afgeskop met die

reeds gevestigde Stellenberg Kwikspar o/13A- en o/13B- & o/11B-rugbydae onderskeidelik.

The above-mentioned rugby tournaments created the opportunity for smaller schools to play matches against opposition they would

not normally play, in their respective leagues.

L/S Eversdal het op Donderdag, 8 Junie 2017 ‘n baie suksesvolle 10’s Rugbytoernooi vir o/13A-spanne aangebied. Sewe skole het

deelgeneem. Die spesiale toernooi is deur Young Engineers geborg. Baie geluk aan die volgende skole met hul prestasies:

• Wenners van die Plaat-afdeling: L/S Gene Louw

• Wenners van die Trofee-afdeling: L/S Bastion

• Naaswenners van die Trofee-afdeling: L/S Kenridge

• Derde plek en bronsmedaljes: L/S Hugo Rust

Die meerderheid van ons spanne het, tot op datum sewe ligawedstryde gespeel. Ons poog doelgerig om soveel moontlik wedstryde

vir al ons spanne te reël. Dit is veral ons junior rugbyspanne wat uitstekende resultate behaal.

Congratulations to the following teams that achieved a winning percentage of 60% or higher for all the league matches played up to

10 June.
