Dear Parents,
I hope you had an enjoyable half term. It’s wonderful to see how well the children have settled back into school and how hard they have been working on their assessments this week.
We celebrated Diwali in assembly today led by Mrs Tulsi. She started sharing some interesting facts about India as a country and then relayed the story of Rama and Sita. The children learnt about why and how we celebrate this wonderful festival of light and it ended with some gorgeous Indian dancing with all the children participating. This weekend there’ll be no shortage of parties and fireworks with Bonfire Night and Diwali coinciding. Have a wonderful time if you are celebrating either.
Also this morning it was lovely to welcome some of our Nursery and Reception parents to the ‘Confident Communicators’ talk led by Miss Kate, our Director of Teaching and Learning. Kate explained how to communicate effectively with children to boost their confidence, language and emotional resilience. She highlighted how everyday moments can become meaningful conversations by asking open-ended questions and giving children time to express their ideas.
In sport this week, our Year 5 teams played netball against Emanuel winning all three matches! Congratulations to all who played. More congrats go to our Year 3 and 4 footballers who won both their matches against Dolphin School. We are proud of you all.
