It feels very surreal today because it is almost Easter and
we are not breaking up for the end of term – I hope I remember to come in on
Tuesday. I have to admit though it is good to have a mini-break before the main
holiday.
The Easter break did get off to a good start at school with
the Easter Egg Hunt organised by the PTA. A lot of children took part and
although I was unable to attend I have had loads of good feedback from them.
There was also an Easter bonnet competition and the standard was so high that
they had to award two prizes. I certainly think that the children hope that
this will become an annual event. I would like to thank all the members of the
PTA who once again gave up their time to host an event for the school. They
certainly help improve the quality of the extended curriculum at Little Heath
as well as raising money to improve the quality of provision for our
pupils.
Even though it is only a short week next week there are
still plenty of things going on in school. There is the much anticipated
performance of ‘Hoodwinked’ which is being put on by Years 3, 4 and 5. I have
been present for some of the rehearsals and it is a very good show. I know all
the children are very eager to perform it for their families and friends and I
know you are all going to enjoy it. May I remind you that as seating is limited
no pupils from Little Heath can come to the Thursday night performance so
please do not bring them with you because you will not be able to stay for the
show. All the pupils in the school will
see ‘Hoodwinked’ on Tuesday. Pre-school children are able to attend the
Wednesday afternoon performance.
As well as ‘Hoodwinked’ we have a ‘Sharing Assembly’ on
Friday morning and an ‘Open Afternoon’ on Wednesday afternoon. We also have
some classes attending the last of our horse riding sessions which are another thing
which have been hugely popular with the children. Many of them are wanting to
take up horse-riding which justifies our expenditure on the activity as we have
encouraged the children to want to take up a sporting activity. I would like to
thank Mrs Robinson and Mr Mills for organising the horse-riding for the pupils.
Enjoy your long weekend. I hope the Easter bunny pays you a
visit and I will see you all again on Tuesday morning – possibly looking a
little plumper after consuming lots of chocolate Easter eggs.
