The Funky Hair Day at Lynnwood Ridge provided loads of fun for learners and educators. There was even a Michael Jackson look-alike. Visit http://www.flickr.com/photos/33875410@N03/show/ to see for yourself.

At the beginning of each year the school has an interhouse gala. Swimmers from the different houses compete against each other in good spirit. This year the Eagles were the overall winners with 412 points. The spirit trophy went to the Eagles as well, so they really stole the show. The gala also gives top swimmers an opportunity to show the rest of the school what they are capable of. A number of records were broken.
On a lighter note, a “celebrity” team consisting of teachers, competed in a relay event. Fortunately they were able to show the learners that they are far from over-the-hill.

2010 is an important year for South Africa. For those taking part in the Global Classroom project there will be plenty to talk about and share. Soccer fans will be able to learn about other teams and broaden their knowledge. Once contact has been made with new groups, the exchange of ideas can begin in earnest. Attention will be focused on South Africa, so it is a time to show what we are worth. Prickly issues need to be resolved and past resentments put behind us so we can all move forward and prove that what was faught for is being well looked after.

At our school we have a strict no-litter policy, yet our learners go home to their neighbourhoods where local businesses leave piles of litter on their doorsteps. Ultra Liquors is one such business. Repeated requests to the owners have fallen on deaf ears. Where to now?

First in line was Alain Millward, a local surfer, showing great enthusiasm. He is a past pupil of Lynnwood Ridge Primary School, Pretoria
More than 100 surfers rode a wave at the Earthwave beach festival in Muizenberg, Cape Town on Sunday to break the Guinness World Record for the ‘most surfers riding the same wave’. Visit http://www.thebombsurf.com/news/370/cape-town-surfers-break-guinness-world-record-at-earthwave-on-sunday to view some exciting pictures.
“We estimated that there were more than 120 surfers on the fifth of the seven waves surfed at Muizenberg during Earthwave,’ said Paul Botha of Kahuna Promotions, the founders of the event that leverages the publicity generated by the world record attempt to promote awareness of climate change and sustainable lifestyles.
“However, the photographic evidence we have so far shows that there were 103 on the same wave, which is enough to overtake the record of 100 set by Earthwave Brazil in Santos last year,” Botha added. “We are still waiting for more images and video footage that we will submit to the Guinness World Record organisation in London to have the record ratified.”
In ideal sunshine conditions, a light offshore breeze and small 0.5 to one metre waves, a total of 443 surfers of all ages and abilities registered to try and bring the record back to Cape Town after Brazil had exceeded the 73 on one wave set at Muizenberg in 2006.
Five times the number in the water lined the beachfront cheering every attempt and urging their champions on as they rode the waves for five seconds before being counted, taking part in a host of fun-filled activities and fund-raising initiatives.

Children celebrated Literacy Week by coming to school dressed as a character out of a book. Some were rewarded with a chocolate for all their trouble. This follows a week of avid reading for the annual Readathon. Top readers received prizes and all who participated were given a beautiful bookmark.

Our Grade 3 learners had a wonderful camping on the school field. They loved being outdoors, roughing it a bit and playing good old fashioned bat and ball games. Perhaps parents should remember this when they go off on holiday with their children. To view some photos taken visit http://www.flickr.com/photos/33875410@N03/sets/72157622306681505/show/
