No ECAs for the next two academic weeks.
Due to our Residential Visits (lots of staff away), there will be no ECAs for the next two weeks. A letter has been sent home with more details. Please help your child to understand that their ECAs will stop for two weeks then start again the second week of Term 2B.
Safety on the Y1 playground
Please be aware that the playground equipment is CLOSED before school starts. Please remind anyone who drops your child off, that they should not be accessing the playground equipment prior to school starting. Thank you.
Learning
Parent workshops - postponed
All parent workshops are postponed for Term 2 and will be rescheduled for the next academic year as gatherings at conferences, seminars and presentations are currently limited to 100 people.
Global Citizenship
Musician of the month - February
Our Musician of the Month for February is Yo-Yo Ma. An incredible cellist, Yo-Yo’s parents are from China and he has lived in the US for most of his life.
Yo-Yo is particularly interested in how music and culture can bring the world together. (See this article in Time magazine). He has participated in a number of projects aimed at highlighting how culture and music forge connections between people, for example The Bach Project(36 CONCERTS. 36 DAYS OF ACTION. 6 CONTINENTS.1 EXPERIMENT: HOW CULTURE CONNECTS US), Pop-up Performances for Essential Workers, Committee of 100 and numerous online and in-person educational appearances (including Sesame Street!).
Although Yo-Yo is classically trained, you can see him making music with a wide range of musicians and styles, most recently in an American Bluegrass group.
Feel free to use our special Youtube playlist or to find your own music. Happy listening!

Birthday celebrations are back!
We are now able to celebrate the children’s birthdays with them, as long as we follow these requirements:
- Individualised treats (cupcakes, donuts, etc) can be brought in either at the start of the day or the end of the day
- No Nuts!
- Please ensure that any food items sent in do not contain nuts, or any traces of nuts. Please check the ingredients.
- No candles
- The birthday treats must be individual portions – teachers will not be able to cut pieces of cake to be given out.
Please liaise directly with your child’s class teacher to inform them if you will be bringing in treats for your child’s birthday. Treats can be dropped off before 8:00 and after 2:00.
