It
has been encouraging to see a steady stream of new parents visiting the
school to see what we have to offer their children. This week, two former
students, Louisa and Claudia Lim, have returned to resume their education
with us and two students new to Kota Kinabalu, Nicholas and Jason Rodda
have joined our ELC and Reception classes. To all of them, we extend a
warm welcome. Book
Donations Books
for the school library have also been arriving in a steady stream. This
week, I would like to thank Lotte Thomsen for her donations. All the books
we receive go either into classrooms or into the library. In either case,
they are used and appreciated.
As
I write, it is a very bright sunny day. Unfortunately, the “better”
the weather, the more important it is that children’s heads are covered
when they are outside. Can I remind all parents of the necessity of
providing their children with school caps for use during playtime, PE and
many club activities? If your child does not already have one, caps are
available from the school office. Football
Kit
I would like to thank Mr and Mrs
Hughes for their generous donation of a full set of football kit for the
school team. I am sure they will spur the team to achieve great things.
Their next match is against Kentucky Fried United at 5.00pm on Sunday and
we wish them every success.
Recreational football for Year 10 and 11 (is there such a thing?!) takes place after school on Friday from 2:00 – 3:30. Any parents who would like to join in are most welcome. |
Anagram
Competition As
well as running our football activities, Mr Leak has dreamed up a little
competition to liven up our weekend. Anagrams are words in which the letters
have been mixed up (eg nestin = tennis). The following anagrams are all the
names of sports or pastimes. The first person to unravel them correctly and
hand them in to Mr Leak will receive a prize.
Change
of Time for Athletics Club Athletics
Club will now run from 2.10 – 3.00 on Tuesdays. The original timing was to
accommodate Key Stage 3 students but the club will now run for Years 3 – 6
only.
I
notice that a significant number of children are arriving at school before
7.30. Whilst I am delighted with their enthusiasm, I need to point out to
parents that there is no actual supervision of children before 7.30. It would
help if younger children, particularly, do not arrive in school before that
time. Best
wishes,
