he buzz of the third term at Uplands revolves largely around the Eisteddfod. We have once again had a very fruitful period which has discovered great talent. The large class groups, performing their poems this year, have especially done us proud. Even the GreenUPS Enviro club members presented a theme program, entitled “You, too, can be a friend of the Earth”. Eight different categories were attempted this year by our children, the most popular by far being that of ‘Dramatised Poetry.’ Lynn Mutanda, entered by Key Drama Studio, was our youngest participant ever as she is only in Grade 00. The individual participants managed to achieve 16 As, 22 A+s and 16 Prestige certificates. Our class groups received 4 A+ and 5 Prestige awards for choral verse. Our kids did very well in the Art Eisteddfod in 2014. Cayleigh Nemes and Lucy van der Meulen both got a gold award and Jessie Cowling achieved a Prestige in the design category. Their work was also displayed at the Eisteddfod Gala evening at the Nelspruit Civic Centre.
The results for large class groups:
Grade 0H and Grade 0P – A+ Grade 1R and Grade 1W – A+ Grade 2O and Grade 2S – A+ Grade 3S – A++ Grade 4S and Grade 4N – A+ Grade 5R and Grade 5E – A++ Grade 6 girls – A++ Grade 6 boys – A++
