Dear Parents,

It is already Week 3 and the term is really starting to get busy with some lovely events and experiences for all the community.

Yesterday, our JS Theatre Sports team had its first heat up at Knox School and they did a great job. Earlier this week, Year 2 and Year 3 visited the wonderful Sculptures by the Sea exhibition as part of their unit of inquiry. Year 5 look forward to their Claymation DigiEd Incursion next week.

World Teachers’ Day takes place tomorrow (Friday, 28 October) and is an ideal opportunity for our boys to say thank you to our dedicated teaching teams. We have asked boys to bring in their cap, so they can tip the cap and say thank you to their teachers – this year’s theme is ‘Hats off to Teachers’.

Families in Y3-Y6, please make sure you read about the upcoming Christmas Lunch for the students in the Y3-Y6 News section.
