Mr Harrison's blog
As we head into half-term, it is good to reflect on the events of the calendar year so far – each New Year offers such hope and this term has witnessed those aspirations being translated into reality. The children have again responded superbly to the challenges they face, most of all, perhaps, Year 6 who have been earnest, mature and steadfast in their approach to the 11+ exams – a most stressful time for all. The results of their Entrance Exams are now filtering through and I am delighted to say that 8 scholarship offers have so far been made which include music for the first time, along with art and academic awards.

What a fantastic day the school had, celebrating Chinese New Year. Across all year groups the curriculum was adapted to have a Chinese focus, from investigating the Mystery of the Stolen Dragon Mask in Maths, making Chinese Lanterns in Art, making spring rolls in Kindergarten Cookery and writing Gushi poetry in English as well as learning about the animals in the Chinese zodiac. In Year 2, the children enjoyed two brilliant workshops by Mr Lee from "China People Promotions" which introduced them to some traditional Chinese stories and the wonderful art of calligraphy.
