It has been lovely to see the children return to school full of excitement and ready for an action-packed term ahead. I would like to extend a very warm welcome to the new children who have joined us – particularly all the Nursery children – your first day of school is so important and I was delighted to see so many smiling faces.

A warm welcome also to our new Prospect House staff. They have already settled in extremely well and hopefully you have had a chance to meet some of them already.

In gym this week, children in 3H enjoyed working together to achieve various goals. The challenges were designed to help develop their team work and their communication and listening skills.

We hope the children have been reading lots of exciting books over the holidays. If you have any books at home that you no longer wish to keep, we would be delighted if you would donate them to the school library.  There will be a box for book donations in the school entrances, or your child can bring them directly to Miss Sutherland in the Upper School or Miss Webb in the Lower School. Thank you.

Many congratulations to Oli Hickie and his wife Leah on the birth of their baby boy, Rhys. Mother and baby are both doing well.

When delivering to, or collecting children from, school please ensure that you park considerately and do not block our neighbours driveways.

Reminder – Curriculum Evening will be held in the Upper School hall on Tuesday 10 September at 6:30pm. You will be able to meet with your child’s class teacher, discuss the curriculum and have the opportunity to ask questions.

Please remember that earrings must be removed on PE & Games days.

The Year 3 boys and girls fixtures against the Hurlingham have now changed from Thursday 10 October to Thursday 17 October 2019.
