School Photos

This Wednesday 4^th of September

I am away at a rehearsal with the Choir in the morning so the children will work in Rooms 1, 4, 5 or 6 for the morning. Room 14’s photos will be after I return.

 

Poetry recital

This week is the Junior School Poetry recital afternoon on Thursday 5^th September starting at 1:30 in the hall (please note change of date due to school photos)

Well done to everyone who learnt their poem off by heart, and recited it to the class last week. There was quite a variety in poems and we all enjoyed listening to each other.

It has been a challenge to decide which two children to recite their poems on Thursday so Room 14 and 15 got together today to listen to some children recite their poems again.

Congratulations to Kennedy, Katiana and Anna who will be reciting their poems on Thursday.

You are most welcome to join us for this event.
