Prep and Pre-prep News
Last week, all Pre-prep and Prep pupils enjoyed some 'Moving Up' Meets, giving them a chance for some face-to-face time with their prospective Form teacher for next year. Although most had to be done virtually, and none could involve the same getting-to-know-you activities that Familiarisation Day normally entails, they certainly created a buzz of excitement for what awaits after the summer break. Year 1 were so excited they headed straight to the ICT suite, where they all wrote a letter to Miss Able. Year 2 have been learning about sound, making and playing their own instruments, whilst Reception loved singing and dancing to Mr Rye's latest song, Mr Fizz Dog. Nursery have continued with their Superhero theme. The children have all created their own superheroes, each with their own special skill. They have created a wonderful display and linked their Fathers' Day cards to the Superhero theme.
Year 6, too, enjoyed their own 'Moving Up' meeting this week with Mr Wilson, learning more about what life will be like in Senior School. The children in Years 3, 4 and 5 have been getting used to a new timetable, involving more 'live' lessons with their teachers, and next week, for some classes, things will change again. We can't wait to welcome Years 2 and 4 back into School on Monday, and soon after that, Years 5 and 3 as well. There will be several new rules and routines for those children to get used to, but I'm sure they'll adapt just as quickly and admirably as those classes who have already returned.
Value awards for this week are:
Effort - Henry R, Emma F, Jess I, Chester B, Zac W and Levi L
Responsibility - Eva P-R, Jack R and William M
