Dear
Parents and Guardians,
House
Point Certificates
The following children in Y5 were awarded Bronze Merit Certificates
at the end of last term for obtaining 25 house points: Eric Hoskins,
Richard Sanders and Hamada Hamada. Our first Silver Merit Certificate
was also awarded in the final assembly to Stanley Nokes, also from
Y5, who obtained 50 house points. There were also three boys in
Y4 who obtained Merit certificates but were not awarded them. These
will be awarded today to David Nesbitt and Jamie Nicholas (25 house
points - bronze) and Oliver Holding Fay (50 house points - silver).
Well done!
Newly
Grassed Area
During the holiday the stones and top roots of the trees in the
Primary quadrangle were removed, top soil added and paper grass
planted. This grass grows under trees. Because it is not yet established
I have had to put this area out of bounds including the big climbing
frame. As soon as I can let the children play on the grass again,
I will. However, this will not be an area for ball games.
Activities
After school activities begin on Monday. Thank you for sending back
the forms so promptly. LAMDA started yesterday.
Appointments
with Teachers
We try to be as available as possible to parents and in the diaries
you will find appointment slips for teachers. Please, kindly use
these so that teachers can meet with you at a mutually agreeable
time. Please do not try to see teachers when they have classes.
The
Zambia Invitational Swimming Gala
Three of our students, including one from the Primary School, were
selected to represent Kenya at the Olympic Stadium in Lusaka, Zambia
on Friday 6th April. These were Olivia Cowan (Y5), Nicole Leichum
(Y8) and Anham Salyani (Y10). They managed to win two bronze medals
for their country and we are very proud of them.
Calendar
Additions and Changes
The photographer from Nairobi will be coming to take individual,
sibling group, class, school and team photographs on Monday 7th
and Tuesday 8th May.
The Kenya Conservatoire of Music has just informed me of a change
of date for the ABRSM exams. They will now be in the morning of
Friday 8th June. This is the same morning as the Y1 assembly but,
because will not be able to use the Long Room where the exams will
take place, Mrs. Sassoon has agreed to have her assembly on Wednesday
6th June. PLEASE MAKE THE NECESSARY ADDITIONS/ALTERATIONS TO YOUR
CALENDARS.
Educational
Visits
On Wednesday Y5 visited the Kwale Eye Centre as part of the Geography
project. They returned very much wiser than when they left and they
raised over Ksh.6,700 themselves to give to the centre. A full report
will be in next week's newsletter.
New
Early Years Children
Next term some of our Early Years siblings will be old enough to
join the Play Group. It may be advantageous for them to come for
one or two days each week after half term. The fee would be charged
per day the child attends. Ms. Winnie has had several new children
this term and she would like to have them fully settled before bringing
in the younger ones for September.
Tennis
Activity
Mr. Nixon will be running this activity on Wednesdays and if anyone
wishes to have individual coaching from 4.00 - 5.00 pm please let
us know and we will inform him. This will not be possible, however,
if it is difficult to collect the children promptly at 5.00 pm.
