Reptiles visit the Castle
There was so much excitement in May this year at the Castle as the much-anticipated reptile
educational sessions took place. The children could get an up-close look at quite a few creatures
that, up until now, they have only seen in books and photos.

Grade Rs’ educational outing
The Grade R children visited The Farmyard during September. They were transported by bus to the
venue and spent the day learning more about all kinds of animals. Each child also received an ice
cream in the heat. It was a day full of fun.

ECO KIDZ
The Curro Castle Durbanville learners pay close attention as this
reptile park specialist tells them about snakes and how cold-blooded
animals love the summer sun.
Grade Rs visit the big school
Curro Castle eco kidz’s Grade R children visited Curro Mount Richmore’s Grade 1 classes to see what
the future has in store for them in the new year. An enjoyable morning was had by all – building a few
robotic Lego figures, singing, drawing pictures and playing outside on the ‘big’ playground. Each child
received a snack and a little gift to remember their visit to Curro Mount Richmore. The ride back to eco
kidz in the Curro bus was filled with noisy, excited chatter which carried on after arrival back at school.

They say friends are the family you choose and the Group 2 children certainly had a blast with their new family members.
