U11
Football and Netball matches played last Thursday
The U11 Football team lost their match 2-0 against Aga Khan at home
last Thursday but it was an extremely fast moving and close game
where Matthew Walters (in goal) made some excellent saves. I was
also very impressed by the performances of Captain Bradley Lionnet
and Alex Canobbio who both played extremely well.
The U11girls also lost their Netball away match against Jaffrey
Academy 8-4. This was played in the pouring rain but we are proud
of the team spirit shown by our girls. Well done!
U11
Netball tomorrow and Tuesday
Our U11 netball team will be competing in the Aga Khan tournament
on Saturday. We wish them lots of luck. There are also matches at
home against Aga Khan and Mombasa Academy on Tuesday. We hope for
better weather next week and wish our girls every success.
U11
Football Tournment at Aga Khan tomorrow
We wish our team every success. Mr. Gitau tells me that some of
our key players will not be able to attend. However, we have a lot
of talent and enthusiasm among those who can and I hope they enjoy
the experience.
Bio
Foods National Junior Championships in Nairobi
We had to pull out of this gala due to the heavy rains and the state
of the Mombasa Road. It is not safe to drive a school bus to and
from Nairobi at this time.
Revision
for Exams
We only have one week and three days left before half term. Exam
week starts immediately after that (4th - 8th June). Homework from
Monday will be mainly revision. Please encourage your children to
revise seriously - it does make a huge difference in exams. Teachers
will give them revision notes during the week but in subjects like
Literacy, revision of spellings and rules of punctuation may be
accompanied by comprehension exercises or creative writing which
it is very important that they do on their own. In Numeracy they
should revise their tables but they will also have revision exercises
to do such as problem solving.
For Science, ICT, Humanities and Languages, they will be given specific
revision notes reminding them of all the work they have covered
during the year. Please make sure they set some time aside in the
evenings to study these notes.
The timetable for these exams has been attached to this newsletter.
Y6
SATs
Year 6 will do their ICT, History, Geography, Kiswahili and French
exams in the same week as everyone else but the English, Mathematics
and Science SATs papers will be administered in the week of 11th
- 15th June in line with the other schools.
The timetable for these SATs will be issued as soon as possible.
Message from Mrs. Dale
Mrs. Dale will be giving her RE classes a timed assessment during
their normal RE lessons in which they will be asked to use their
thinking, exploring, interpreting, responding and reflecting skills
at an appropriate level.
Y6 Induction Day
I hope Y6 enjoyed their day in the Secondary School and that they
now have a good idea of what to expect next term.
Year
2
Next Thursday and Friday Mrs. Miranda will be in Nairobi and her
class will join Mrs. Jiwaji and Y3 but Mrs. Dale will take them
separately for Numeracy and Literacy. As Mrs. Jiwaji will be their
Class Teacher next term it will be a good opportunity to get to
know each other.
Junior
French Poetry Competition
Mr. Kirby attended a meeting at Oshwal Academy this week as we were
invited to participate in their Junior French Poetry Competiton.
It is to be held on Tuesday 12th June from 1.00 pm - 4.00 pm at
Oshwal but only one child from each year group will be able to represent
the school. If your child is chosen, Mr. Kirby will be contacting
you.
Appreciation
for 'wet play' activities
We would like to express our thanks to all the parents who have
contributed indoor games which the children can play during wet
play times. Particular thanks to Mrs. Nicole Rogers and Mrs. Lisa
Nesbitt for their kindness and generosity.
Assemblies
Thank you Mrs. Jiwaji and Y3 for your lovely assembly on Wednesday.
Next Friday will be Y1's assembly as they have swapped weeks with
Y2 because of Mrs. Miranda being in Nairobi.
Have
a good weekend.
