A note from the Principal A busy week for us in Primary, with our Y4, Y5 and Y6 attending the highly anticipated Residentials. I was lucky to join our Y5 students in Khao Yai for one night and be the guest judge at the Talent Show. We had a lot of fun and our students really must be commended for their exemplary behaviour and their courage and kindness which shone throughout. A huge thank you to all our leaders, teachers, business staff, transport department and nursing team who work so hard to make our Residentials such a success.
Many thanks to the 80 parents who have completed our short parent survey our new report template. If you haven’t had a chance yet, the link is here. We really appreciate your time and feedback.

Global Citizenship
Events In The World
You can keep up to date with current events around the world by watching Newsround, an age appropriate news show. Being aware of current events will help your child to make connections with a range of themes when reading in class, and it is an ideal opportunity for you to model discussing your opinions and using experiences to draw connections between events and people.
