Science Camp At Saasta Observatory Johannesburg

With 25 learners from grade 8 and 9 Dinoto was invited by Saasta (South African Agency for Science and Technology Advancement) for a three days science camp from 7th to 9th of December to Johannesburg Observatory. The three days were filled with interesting activities for our learners, thus they first built models of different appliances with the help of instructions and afterwards invented and completed an own design (e.g. a phone box ATM, a ramp for wheelchairs, a South African soccer stadium and a car ventilator) with cardboard.

On the second day they were also entertained by a science show and stunned by the moebius rings and by making telescopes. But after all one thing is clear: maths, science and technology is no witchcraft and is ubiquitous!

Thanks to Saasta for the wonderful three days, we really enjoyed it!



End Of Year B-balling

To celebrate the existence of the 2009 Dinoto Basketball team the team met for a end of the year playing on the Dinoto court. Nice music, cold drinks, incredible weather and a basketball - we were in paradise.



Term Closure

On Friday 11th December the learners will receive their reports. With this the school will close officially.
We wish all our readers and followers a wonderful Christmas time and a happy new year.
See you in 2010!
