Dear Parents
The half-term break seemed to fly by for everyone and the children returned to school on Monday eager to share their holiday adventures. They have settled swiftly back into the routine of school this week and are looking particularly smart in their winter uniforms.
It was really enjoyable to meet so many parents at our parent teacher consultations held earlier this week. These meetings gave parents the opportunity to talk with the teachers; to share the children’s successes and to discuss the progress that has already been made this academic year.
Reception Class and Year 1 led assembly on Wednesday where the theme was the longstanding British traditions around Halloween and All Saints Day. The children in Reception delighted the school with their Halloween hats and Year 1 proudly displayed their very own endpapers for a Winnie the Witch book.
Charity work is a vital part of making children good citizens and I am happy to report that the amount raised to support the Roald Dahl Children’s Charity following the dressing up day on Friday 14th October was the impressive sum of £130.45. We are currently supporting the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal. Poppies to support this year’s appeal are available just inside the main school entrance for all our families.
The children at the Prep School regularly enjoy enrichment activities to extend their thinking and skills in different areas of the curriculum. Next Wednesday percussionists "Shake, Rattle and Roll" will be demonstrating their range of fascinating instruments and every child will be taking part in musical workshops. With this and so many other activities planned over the next few weeks we look forward to an extremely busy and very exciting half term.
Best regards
Maria Maslin
