As we complete our last full week, it is opportune to reflect on a really busy but dynamic term. It's hard to know where the time's gone but I shouldn't really be surprised: every Friday it seems impossible that the end of another week has come around so quickly. Such is the nature of a packed timetable and a host of extra-curricular clubs and activities. |

We are well and truly in festive mode now, with the period of Advent having started this week. The Infant nativity, performed so beautifully, reminded us of the true message of Christmas, and the Junior performance of 'Superstar' was also a highlight of this week, with singing and dancing aplenty! We are all looking forward to yet more festive fun next week. |

| As we approach the half-term holiday, it is apposite to reflect on all that we have done in this busy start to the academic year.

House Drama was a real highlight of this week, as much for the observers as for the participants. It was lovely to see the camaraderie across the houses and within each house, as the younger pupils were supported, taught and corralled by the older pupils! |
