The Ridge School Magazine 2020

GRADE 7N
UMAR
KASSAM
I entered this school so
small and cute,
But now I’m so big but
still cute
From 2015 to 2020
These years have been
the best
Even though 2020 was not
the best
I know that this school
tried to make it my best
And the best part of this
year was probably football
at break
With lots of energy and
excitement
It was something we
waited for the entire day
I have always felt loved at
this school
And will continue to carry
this quality with me
And share it with others.
UMAR KASSAM
This old Ridge boy to be is so cool
A friendly guy and a real jewel
With a dollop of fun Dan never drops the ball
Polite and respectful, he is always number one
This is only a start and he is not yet done.
BONOLO
NDUMELA
He’s assured, impressive, and very gracious
With a rhythm and a clap, he will outsmart you with
a rap
A bubbly fun guy with a great big heart
A legend with a soul
He’ll reach his goal and will he’ll triumph in style.
JOSHUA
NYAKOE
Know you are the absolute best,
Basketball is your game
Bubbly, witty and an amazing talent
A cheerful smile that is so bright
To the top he’s headed, that’s his
fate
UPS AND DOWNS OF THE RIDGE
The Ridge gave me and experience of a lifetime
I hope to come back and visit sometime
It’s hard to believe that it’s almost my last day
And I really wish that I could stay longer.
The Ridge as given me opportunities to learn new things
and blossom
Such as going to Sci Bono and being ecstatic to see the fossils
Most of the teachers are happy and well
But some see school as a jail cell.
The facilities at the school were amazing and they kept us
entertained
Although they always left creases and stains
The subjects were always interesting and kept us focused.
Such as science learning about the diplodocus
Although our Grade 7 year didn’t go as planned we have
enjoyed the time we’ve had.
Online school took a big toll on our lives as it was very
challenging in start but got easier as time went by
I had come to the conclusion that online school was here to
stay, then it all turned around and contact lessons began again
We were all excited to see each other again
Once we got back to school it was been amazing
But exams have made every word worth a phrase
I couldn’t have asked for a more interesting year than this one
But I enjoyed it anyway and I can’t wait for it to be done.
JOSHUA BARASA NYAKOE
You make my heart
laugh
You fill my life with joy
And when you see us
you call us Ridge boys.
When one of us are
down
The rest will help and
care
While the other one
will get a teacher there.
We respect each other
for anything you love
Let it be rugby, choir or
saxophone
It doesn’t matter
because you’ll never
feel alone
The point I’m trying to
make my fellow friends
I have seen most of
you for seven years
and those others I still
love you the same.
So boys, as we sit here
and dwell
For most of us this will
be our first and final
farewell
