Friday 2nd March 2018 Issue 20 Pre-Prep news
The weather this week has certainly caused
a stir amongst the children. As you can see
they have enjoyed a couple of snowy play-
times!
World Book Day on Thursday brought with
it so many fantastic costumes. The children
really enjoyed listening to stories in differ-
ent ‘nooks’ and a
hunt of famous
book characters
posted around the school. Mr Berriman judged the
best dressed of each class and the winners were, Violet
Clayson ‘Violet the Pilot’, Ophelia Savage ‘Lola’,
Digby Steed ‘Peter Rabbit’ and Agatha Hudson ‘My
Little Pony’.
Can we just remind you all to ensure that your child
has a hat, scarf and gloves in school to wrap up in for
outside play. Could we also request that if you have
any outgrown tights or socks they would be gratefully
appreciated in the Nursery as we always need spares.
Message from the Headmaster
The week has, of course, been disrupted by the snow and bad weather but I have to say we have got on with school life as close to normal as possible.
We will look for alternative dates for those events that were postponed. In the meantime stay safe, warm and hope to see you on Monday.
Chinese Visit
On Monday, we welcomed 7 visi-
tors from Greentown Yuhua Pri-
mary School, China. It was a very
successful visit and our visitors
were overwhelmed with the com-
munity spirit of NPS and the quali-
ty of education provided. They
commented particularly on the
care the children receive from all
the staff and they were eager to
learn all about the curriculum and
the many enrichment opportunities.
World Book Day
World Book Day was celebrated in great style at NPS with every child, and many of
the staff, dressing up as literary characters. There were colourful guest appearances
from an Oompah Loompah, Eeyore, Tigger and Winnie the Pooh, and some Harry
Potters. Ivor the Engine chugged in for the day, Dennis the
Menace and Fantastic Mr Fox joined in. Miss Trunchbull
unusually treated all of the Matildas very nicely and Sleep-
ing Beauty and her three Fairy godmothers added a touch
of magic. Superman flew around and Hetty Feather cleaned
up after him.
There are far too many brilliant
characters to mention here but
thank you to all the children and
staff for entering into the spirit of
the day; it was great fun and
wonderful to see such an array of
outfits with some super home-
made costumes and props too.
A very special thanks must go to
the Boarding Team for all their
support of the boarders and, of
course, to all our parents for their
enthusiastic involvement.
