This week we discussed our new Learning Strength, Responsibility. Inspired by the parable of the frog and the scorpion, the boys reflected on the idea of responsibility and whether or not we are always responsible for our actions. The boys responded with some very thoughtful answers and if you have time, please have a look at the film used in the assembly, and discuss the questions with your son. The film can be found on the BBC website here. 

Many congratulations to Aqua house for their charity day last Friday raising £483 for the Red Pandas. This week there was a wide range of fixtures including football, hockey and swimming. The younger boys performed in their Instrumental Scheme concert on Wednesday and did fantastically well, playing with great confidence. On Thursday, Year 6 prepared for the move into the senior school with their Robot Art workshops and Year 5 had a joint netball session with the Prep School girls as part of our ‘Link Day’ programme. 

Next week, is Children’s Mental Health week with the theme ‘This is my Place’. This will be the theme of next week’s assembly and parents may be interested in some of the resources for families which can be found on the official website here. 

Wishing you a restful weekend, 

John Bond
