Noon Gun Outing
There was much excitement as we drove up the narrow road towards the Noon Gun on Signal Hill. We had our picnic lunches ready to enjoy as we sat and viewed Table Bay and the city of Cape Town. Mr Malgas explained the history of the Noon Gun and then proceeded to load the cannon with gunpowder. In all the years of SPPS Grade 4's visiting the Noon Gun, this was the firs time it misfired and the back-up gun was used.
