Dear
Parents and Guardians,
The
Students of the Week ending 3rd November 2006 were: Joy Mugo (Play
Group), Olivia McKeown (Nursery), Joshua Kormann (Reception), Liban
Ismael (Y1), Jamie Jennings (Y2), Shamsa Abdalla (Y3), Darren Thomas
(Y4), Katie Jennings (Y5) and Kristy McGovern (Y6). Well done everyone!
The
report for the Under 11 Girls' Rounders match played on Thursday
2nd November against Aga Khan Academy (away) is as follows:
After
Captain Yvonne Bachmann (Y6) won the toss, our players stormed through
a commanding first innings scoring 7 rounders in total. Yvonne,
Sangita, Fatima and Olivia all made impressive "home runs".
This gave them the confidence to take clean catches and limit the
Aga Khan girls' rounders to only 4½ in their first innings
with a competent display of fielding. Debutant Fatima so impressed
us with her hard hitting that we feared her bat would break.
Despite a disappointing second innings in sometimes hostile conditions,
our girls bravely battled on to clinch a draw, our best result yet
against this team.
Our
thanks go out to parent fans who also travelled to support us. Hopefully,
next week, we'll be able to set an attacking field against Shree
and give you more to cheer about.

A
very big thank you to all the teachers and parents who gave up their
time to put the Fun Day together last Friday. Thanks also to everyone
who contributed cakes for the bake sale. The takings were in the
region of Ksh.31,000.
The
Year 5 and 6 trip to Tsavo sets off this weekend on Friday 17th
November at 12.30 pm and returns on Sunday 19th November at approximately
3.00 pm. I would like to thank Mrs. Veronique Jennings for all her
work in organising this trip and we wish everyone a very enjoyable
time.
Exam
week begins on Monday 20th November but there will be no exams for
Years 5 and 6 until Tuesday 21st November. This will give them a
day to recover from their trip. Homework may be revision for a lot
of subjects. Please encourage your children to revise if that is
what they have been asked to do. After school activities will continue
during exam week.
Thank
you, Y1, for your lovely assembly. There is a change to the calendar
next week as the Early Years will now do their assembly on Friday
24th November. Next week Ms. Chege will take charge with the upper
juniors presenting a Kiswahili assembly. If your child is involved,
you will see a note in the diary.
I
am very pleased to inform you that Mr. Gannaway is back in Mombasa
and in the best of spirits. He returned on Wednesday night and is
to rest completely for at least one week. After that we may see
him around but he will not be resuming work this term.
Have
a good weekend.
Yours
sincerely
Allen
Corbet
Head of Primary
