Welcome to the Linden Park Primary School French website. Here you will find everything you need to know about our French programme at Linden Park Primary School. Regularly updated information will include term topics, homework, vocabulary, audio, videos, poetry, games and much more. Madame Valerie Wolff-Berthelot French Teacher Rec - 4.

Sport is played for fun daily. Children that are talented at sport are encouraged to join sport clubs to minimise the cumulative exposure of this in their day-to-day school life. Robert Cantu recommends that competitive sports are started after the age of 14, when the period of peak myelination rates and increased cerebral blood flow causing rapid neurodevelopmental periods are over. This affects problem-solving, memorising word lists and decision making that depend on healthy cognitive development. Learners will not ask you for any money at our school - we do not use them to fund-raise for the school. All concerts, photos, outings, school stationery and dress-up days are included in the monthly consumable fee.
The only money your child should be asking you for school, if ever - is tuck. Our tuck is a bit expensive, but it is healthier than the usual old-school tuck.
The Department of Education have asked us to educate our children about eating healthy. Our tuck is mostly carb-conscious, gluten free, lactose free, sugar free and has minimal preservatives and colourants.
You are what you eat, let us fuel up consciously - even if it costs a little extra. You will save on doctor’s bills in the end and you may even achieve full attendance for the year ☺. In Ancient Times The Linden Tree was worshipped by the Germans initially. It was associated with Freya. Her trees were considered the tree of peace and were often the central meeting place for communities.
Originally, local communities not only assembled to celebrate and dance under the linden tree but they also held the judicial proceedings under her leaves. It was believed that the tree would help unearth the truth and that no one was able to lie maliciously without attracting Freya’s rage. Thus the tree became associated with jurisprudence.
January 11, 2010 Initially a need was recognised for a school that used a child-centred approach toward education in the East Rand. The Montessori and Waldorf behavioural approaches were very influential in the way the school would ‘set learners up for success’.
A Department of Education approved curriculum has always been used at Mount Linden School. Many of the private schools started using these curriculums as ANA was introduced by the Department of Education. The need for small classes became evident from the onset. The needs of the Educators were also taken into consideration, since their stress levels influence the quality of education that is delivered. As time went by, the Department of Education used a more learner centred approach that is holistic and our Educators that are qualifying today have this holistic approach as part of their University curriculum and training.
It is so inspiring for our Educators to see the growth and development of this in our country. Present Day Mount Linden School values your family time and hosts no fundraising/sport events that take up your “quality family time”. Most of our families are hard-working folk, who appreciate healthy boundaries and predictable routines.
The homework is simple to follow, tests are predictable and our projects are given at the beginning of the term – giving mom plenty of time to do her shopping for the project. We hope to provide your family with predictable academic involvement that supports your family and safeguards us all from stress as much as possible.
