End of Summer Term 2010 Newsletter

PRE PREP

'Caterpillar Boogie'
I am certain that everyone who watched Nursery and Kindergarten perform their summer show will be astounded at the children's confidence and enjoyment in performing.  They were captivating to watch and a joy to hear sing.  The children are a credit to themselves, parents and staff.  Our Nursery and Kindergarten staff do an amazing job throughout the year with dedication and a thorough knowledge of each individual's character.  Mrs Bourne is fundamental in developing their rhythm music and movement.  Thank you to all who provided the colourful costumes, Mrs Witton for props and Polhill Garden Centre for the plants.

'Ffinlo'
We all enjoyed this show enormously.  It allowed the children to show such a variety of skills, singing, dancing, acrobatics, bell ringing, speaking ..............  The show was a spectacular event and all of the children performed well.  We rely on Form 2 always to bring the show together, and even though peforming clown acts can be tricky, I am sure you will agree they managed it with aplomb.  The colours, the set, the costumes, the music was a great team effort and one that makes Sevenoaks Prep School special.  Well done to you all and thank you.

Form 2 Gift
I would just like to extend a great big thank you to all of the Form 2 parents for the generous gift to the Pre Prep.  The three willow wigwams are going to be loved, well used and create all sorts of imaginative play.  They will be a fantastic addition to our play garden.  Many thanks from all of the Pre Prep.
