Dear Parents,
Bute is not a school that winds down towards the end of term. If anything, it revs up and sprints to the finish line amid cheers of excitement. I am sure we will all collapse in a heap at the end, but for now we are still going strong!
This week many of the girls have been taking their ABRSM exams and we have to say well done to the girls and huge thanks to our peripatetic music teachers for preparing them so well.
A special thank you to our two Year 6 girls, who won the Charity vote at the beginning of the year; they have managed to collect an incredible £3,543.41 for Action Against Hunger! through donations during the Christmas Celebration, the Y2 Nativity, the movie nights and the Colour Run. Thank you all for your generosity!
Y1 had a marvellous trip to Kew Gardens yesterday, whilst at school we hosted our new girls joining us in Reception in September at a Teddy Bears’ Picnic – such a wonderful little group of girls!
Our Teaching Assistants attended a network event with our local partnership schools, organised by Mr Charles, in which they explored positive playtimes and circle time activities with Thérèse Hoyle, whom I have worked with before, and is the author of A Peaceful School.
Move-Up Afternoon was a huge success today and the girls seemed genuinely happy with their new form and teachers. It was great to have our new staff with us today too.
Last night was an absolute triumph for our Year 6 girls who put on a brilliant performance of Annie. To see their confidence and characters shine through on stage was a pure delight; and tonight, after leaving us a little earlier to get ready, they are, as I write, grooving out in a festival inspired leavers’ party! It’s the first of many festivals to come – I am sure!
Finally, thank you for your tombola prizes that you sent in today with the girls for Fun Day Friday. I am looking forward to a fantastic Sports Day and Summer Fair next week!
I wish you a wonderful weekend.
Warm regards,
Sian
