Stage Coordinator Comment

Shakespeare is on us again, and the Infants children have been learning their play parts, Zoe Emanuel is starting serious rehearsals on Fridays and soon we will be looking for costumes and props.

Our Costume Store has been wonderfully ordered and looked after by Mrs. Geraldine W for the past number of years, and this has made a huge difference to the selection of suitable costumes for the different play characters.  Mrs. W  will no longer be a school parent after this year, and we are looking for one, two or three parents to take over this role.  Geraldine has generously offered to help and advise the new incumbents until they feel confident to take over.

PLEASE CONSIDER THIS NEED, TEAM UP WITH A FRIEND AND MAKE AN OFFER TO SUPERVISE THE COSTUME ROOM!

The wet weather has been very testing for everyone, and sport has had to be rearranged, also the PISA competition has not been able to go ahead yet this term. 

However, our best indoor sport, Chess, is going ahead, in spite of Mr. Nowak’s urgent departure for Europe to assist a sick relative.  Thanks go to Mrs. Pietschner for holding things together in Miro’s absence. Interschool  competition has started and we look forward to repeating our success of previous years.  Many thanks to Mrs. Pietschner for her continual efforts:  also the mothers who taxi the children and prepare food for home games .
All these happenings test our resilience teacher, parent and children.  Let’s rise to the occasion with good grace!
