Dear Parents
We are indeed blessed by this beautiful rain, despite the havoc it can cause, getting boys to school on time. Thank you to those who leave a little earlier to avoid the manic rush. Please be reminded to be patient and respectful at the drop off and pick up points. It is always a difficult time and we ask that you allocate a little more time than usual, in this wet and cold weather.
Some inspiring words from a poem that may be useful for you:
What did you do today?
If you ask your child "What did you do today?"
Don't be surprised if they have nothing to say.
The question's so big, where should they begin?
It's hard to remember everything!
Better to say, "Nothing" that's easy to say
It really was too busy and complicated a day.
For better informaion, It's best to say
"Did you hear a story or paint or do a puzzle today?"
Then help them remember what it was about
And before you know it, more things will pour out.
So ask for specifics about things we do
It will be much easier for your child to tell you.
If you want to know what these things might be
Just look at the walls and you will see
Or ask and we'll be happy to say
How many different things we did today!
We are heading into the last week in October which leaves all but 5 weeks of the term left. The school is a busy place at most times of the year but the end of the year is somewhat compounded by functions, thank you's and goodbyes. Take time on these few weekends left to spend time doing things that fill your soul. Happy weekend everyone!
Kind regards
