When the sun shines at EHS Prep School, the children shine and this week has been no exception. We are a family and when the whole school comes together it is magical. Tuesday saw the infamous EHS Pancake Day Races take place on the Prep playground and for the first time, our Reception girls took part. Mrs Sawyers’ impeccable organisation meant that the whole event was seamless. It was a joyous event, with smiles, cheers and laughter culminating in a fabulous ‘Pancake’ dance! Congratulations to the winning House – Frank.
World Book Day week is always a highlight of the year for many of our pupils, staff (and parents?) and this week the girls have had the chance to immerse themselves in their favourite books. Harry Potter continues to be incredibly popular, but it was lovely to see girls talking so passionately about new authors and sharing their love of reading with one another.
Our netball teams continue to have success, with numerous fixtures played over the past couple of weeks. The Under 11 girls have gone from strength to strength and played extremely well against Bromsgrove School on Wednesday afternoon with a convincing win. As I write this, our Year Five and Six girls are preparing for their netball tour to Condover Hall – hoodies have been delivered and final preparations are in place. I wish all of the girls a successful weekend and would like to thank the staff who are accompanying them for providing such an exciting opportunity.
Amongst all of these wonderful co-curricular opportunities, academic excellence has been evident across the school and I am most grateful to all of my wonderful staff for providing such an inspiring place for our girls to learn. Their passion for teaching and learning is inspirational...as is their passion for dressing up for World Book Day!!
Have a wonderful weekend.
