MARKET DAY
Market Day is an entrepreneurial experience for all our Primary Children. They are given a budget of R200-00 where they need to recycle goods to produce items that they can sell. All parents and children at BUCCLEUCH MONTESSORI are invited to support our Market day entrepreneurs which always promises to be a highlight of each term.
SPORTS DAY
We have an annual school sports day where each of the houses (and Parents) compete for the coveted Athletics trophy, this is for all our children from 14-months to 13-years. This is a wonderful BUCCLEUCH MONTESSORI community activity. Our annual sports day is the highlight of our athletics sports program. We have four sports houses at BUCCLEUCH MONTESSORI, namely: Impala (yellow), Springbok (red), Kudu (blue) and Sable (green). The day attracts our families who root for both their children and their houses. It is a fun filled occasion which has both parents and children competing for their houses. The winning house receives a trophy and each participant receives a beautiful medal.
END OF YEAR CONCERT
Each year we stage a spectacular professional musical production. Every single pupil at BUCCLEUCH MONTESSORI takes part in this spectacular stage-filling dancing, singing, instrumental and choir fest, while providing an outlet for developing talents. Our annual BUCCLEUCH MONTESSORI Revue showcases the depth of musical and dance talent in our school. Every pupil gets to learn multiple dance routines and the lyrics are sung by our choir. Performances to date have been ‘Music through the ages’, ‘The Heartbeat of Africa’ and ‘Nations of the World’. Our children perform in front of an audience of 600 which always ends in an encore! This gives our pupils enormous confidence on stage.
