Dear Parents,
It’s hard to believe that we only have a few weeks to go until we finish for the Christmas holidays and we are already in full Christmas spirit. Rehearsals are stepping up and it’s wonderful to hear the girls preparing for our Christmas performances. The girls sounded so beautiful during a recent rehearsal, just above my office, that I thought it was a professional backing track! I was stunned when I went up to investigate and saw the choir practising for the Christmas Celebration – I think we are certainly in for a treat on 1st December!
Our Year 3 girls have shown high levels of resilience this week, while working back in their own ‘bubble’ and have coped well with a combination of live and remote lessons. Despite this disruption to their normal routine, we are thrilled that they have been placed top of the country for their writing, in the Assessing Primary Writing platform, used by the English Department.
Our Year 6 girls have been sitting their mock examinations this week, in preparation for their ISEB exams later this term. We are incredibly proud of them all and wish them every success in the coming weeks.
This week we marked National Anti-Bullying Week across the school, with a virtual assembly about ‘Acts of Kindness’. The girls showed maturity when discussing a range of scenarios involving bullying and ways to actively address it by not being a bystander. All children received an anti-bullying bracelet and sticker.
We ended the week today with ‘Fun Day Friday’. The girls were delighted to be able to wear their own clothes in return for bringing in a tombola prize for the Christmas Fair. Thank you for your generosity and support, as always. I know that the House Committee will be very grateful.
Thankfully, our Covid cases seem to have reached a plateau and we hope to come out of mitigation measures after Wednesday next week. Thank you for all your support.
Have a restful weekend,
Warm regards,
Sian
