Dear Parents
What a contrast in weather conditions we have experienced during the week! At least the sun has shone for most of it and although much colder in the last few days, it is still a spring-like view I enjoy from my office window.
One special occasion this week was the past pupils matches between our current Year 6 children and last year’s leavers. This was played in great spirit and with no little skill, both in the boys and girls matches. It was lovely to see all of our former pupils looking so fit, healthy and excited to be back in once familiar surroundings.
Another highlight has been the curriculum workshops that have been run by the teachers for parents and children over the last week or so. We have focused on the theme of growth mindset and I know that many of you have found it very helpful to share the language and ideas that the children have been learning about in school. Many thanks and well done to all the teachers who delivered on these occasions, it is not an easy thing to do.
We look forward next week to the end of term events of the Spring Concert and Easter Service. As always, plenty of preparation has been going on here in school and we are looking forward to inviting parents in to share these moments with their children. In the most recently updated government guidance, there are few if any COVID restrictions now on meetings, but I would emphasise that any visiting adults who would prefer to wear masks are entirely welcome to do so. We have managed numbers in the hall to prevent overcrowding and there will be plenty of ventilation as well.
Best wishes
