Happy New Year!

Welcome back to school! It is the start of the Spring term

and although we are still in the throes of winter weather,

the days will gradually become lighter and lighter. Just as

our academic progress will become brighter and brighter

as the term develops.

Our theme for this

week is…

Respect

Year 5 and 6 Winter Festival

Year 6 kicked off the Winter Festival with some

rousing and melodious Christmas Carols. Year

5 students put on a fantastic dramatic display

of acting and singing. The students played a

pivotal part in putting together and directing

their scenes. Well done to all involved, it was a

wonderful show and very enjoyable to watch!

Special thanks go to Mr Thomas for organising

the event with the support of Mr Owens, Mrs

Kakkad, Mr Roberts and Miss Hodgson and Mr

Bell. Thank you for all their hard work in pre-

paring the performance.

Public Speaking Tips

Every week this term, we will be

offering helpful tips for students’ to

use in order to improve their Public

Speaking skills. Public Speaking is a

valuable life skill that is best taught

at a young age and it is a skill we like

to help train here at the Swaminara-

yan School. Stay tuned...

Enrichment Day

Thursday 11th December was our first Enrichment Day for the school year.

Our theme was Africa, where students took part in activities such as African

drumming and singing songs. A big thank you to Mr Wildman and Mrs Rana

for organising the day.
