MRS MP SMITH

On behalf of the Aston Manor Primary Family we would like to extend our sincere condolences to Grant and Matthew Smith. Mrs Maureen Smith was a teacher at Aston Manor Primary School from 1984 to 2013 and sadly passed away on Sunday, the 10th of April 2016.

Mrs Smith will be missed and was well loved for her stimulating English lessons and imparting her love for all things “books”.

If you would like to convey your condolences to Maureen’s family please forward an email to the school – michelle@amps.za.com.

We will ensure that we forward your condolences to the Smith family.

On the same note the school has been in the process of establishing a wall of remembrance for students and staff (past and present). We will be having a commemoration service later this year for family members.

If you are aware of any students, governing body members or staff members who may have passed away please ask the family members to email michelle@amps.za.com or office@amps.za.com with the relevant details.

Interschool

We didn’t do too badly at Interschool however we could have done better. We finished fourth overall but it’s worth noting that in the field events on the first day we were first. So congratulations to the children who tried their best and participated, we had a number of athletes who did very well and went further. You can view the photos on our facebook book page or at this Link

Welcome back new parents and all our other supportive parents! We hope you had a break over the festive season and had a chance to spend some time with your children, family and friends.

Based on the year plan 2016 looks like it’ll be even busier than 2015 but with your help we hope to make it another successful year for your children and the school.

SPCA Blankets

SPCA Blankets https://amps.za.com/wp-content/themes/crocal/images/empty/thumbnail.jpg 150 150 schoolman schoolman https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/26e1b3ed8dc9304ea7356014c2365aa4?s=96&d=mm&r=g May 7, 2015 May 7, 2015

Mrs van Dijk along with the staff of Gr6 and Gr7 asked learners to collect blankets for the cold months of winter on behalf of the SPCA. Due to time constraints the children had less than two weeks to bring blankets to the school, and on top of that we had public holidays in between which gave the school even less time for the blanket collection.

Despite the time constraints the two grades managed to bring in money and over 80 blankets for the SPCA. Thank you Grade 6 and Grade 7 children for helping we know the animals will be very very happy and hopefully we can keep a few of them nice and warm during the colder months.

1.7 Tonnes!

We want to say a big thank you to all the parents and learners for their generous food donations towards our SPCA competition this year. We also had many donations of money, toys, blankets and treats! Mrs D van Dijk started the yearly SPCA competition 6 years ago where the school collected one car full of food – Over the last 6 weeks of 2014 AMPS went from one car of food, to 1.7 tonnes of cat and dog food!

AMPS is proud of the parents, learners and staff who made the effort to make this Christmas Season a happy one for the animals at the Kempton Park SPCA. We are also proud to say that from this year AMPS is supporting a kennel and we look forward to working with the SPCA for many years to come. Please support the charity organisations of South Africa!

Grade 7 Business Day

Grade 7 Business Day https://amps.za.com/wp-content/themes/crocal/images/empty/thumbnail.jpg 150 150 schoolman schoolman https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/26e1b3ed8dc9304ea7356014c2365aa4?s=96&d=mm&r=g September 8, 2014 September 8, 2014

Congratulations to the Grade 7 group of 2014 as well as the Grade 7 Educators and Mrs Luppnow for organising a successful EMS Business Day on the 5th of September. The learners were in charge of their own shops and had to draw up business plans and manage their money correctly as part of an EMS exercise. They then put their knowledge to the test as they setup their shops, making sure to have enough products for the day, making sure their shops would be attractive to other learners passing buy and creating a product other people wanted to purchase or invest in.

Unfortunately we didn’t have a nice wide angle lens on the day but we did manage to capture one or two images for you to have a look at – Congratulations to all the children and thank you to the parents who assisted the learners in making sure the day was a success.
