Dear Parents,
This week, we were delighted to welcome back María Luisa Martínez from the Spanish Embassy. She spent time seeing how the children are progressing in their Spanish learning and was extremely impressed by the high standard of Spanish writing in their books, including the Year 2 and 3 pen pal letters. María Luisa also led a wonderful Lower School assembly, sharing insights into what a typical school day looks like in Spain. The assembly ended on a joyful note, with María Luisa singing and playing the ukulele alongside the children. We are so pleased to see our relationship with the Spanish Embassy continuing to grow and blossom.
Also this week, Reception had a wonderful time at the Polka Theatre and Year 5 have gone for a visit to Holy Trinity church in Roehampton today for their Christianity topic.
Today’s assembly was led by Sharon Miller who spoke to the children about the fascinating Jewish festival of Tu B’Shevat, the festival of the ‘birthday of trees’.
