George Spicer Newsletter - 28/03/2025
It is hard to believe we are ending the penultimate week of the Spring Term, one week left until the holidays. In the past fortnight, we have had a number of performances where the children have been able to show and share their wider talents. The Year One, George Spicer Sings performances were wonderful to see and hear and I’m sure like me, the parents were wowed by them. Also, this week we had a group of KS2 children taking part in the Enfield School’s Dance Festival – a great evening. These will be followed by Year Four strings concerts and an Art Exhibition by the club. Offering these activities is essential in broadening the skills and opportunities that your children can experience as part of their personal development.
Assemblies this week continued to focus on our Value of Respect – looking at mutual respect and how to respond if things don’t go your way or you feel angry with a situation/person. Anger is a normal human emotion. What gives it its negative link is how we respond when angry. Sharing strategies with all the children to be assertive and talk about the emotion instead of reacting in an aggressive way. Hopefully you may see some of these in action as we continue with the annual challenge of helping the children be their best version of themselves.
In recent weeks, we have had a number of external people, including our Governors, coming to observe the learning taking place. All of these people have commented positively on the calm atmosphere and how well the children are engaged in their learning in lessons. The feedback from these different people has filled me with a sense of pride as the term comes to an end.
Early in the new term I will be sending out some information about upcoming parent vacancies on the Governing Body and asking for declarations of interest. Having people from within our school community focussed on helping us to continuously improve is vitally important and I hope you will consider joining to support the journey.
This weekend is an important one for many of you/us, we should hopefully have some nice warm sunshine to celebrate Mother’s Day – a fitting end to Women’s history month; hopefully making up for the hour less in bed! I would also like wish Eid Mubarak to those within our community celebrating on (probably)Monday, as per our new tradition, we will be having an Eid-themed menu (designed by a former pupil) one day next week.
Housepoints will also be counted next week, so please keep an eye out for the announcement of which colour wins – what I am really pleased to see is how full the tubes all are, which means the children have worked really hard to demonstrate our Be’s and Values.
Many thanks for your continued support, have a lovely weekend.
