HONOURABLE MENTIONSMrs Moore has been super impressed by,

and is really proud of Katie Large 1101,

for her absolute dedication and resilience

in all aspects of our current situation. This

half-term’s absolute star!

A HOLIDAY GIVES ONE A CHANCE TO LOOK

BACKWARD AND FORWARD, TO RESET ONESELF BY AN

INNER COMPASS,”MAY SARTON

THANKYOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING YOU’VE DONE THIS

HALF TERM, FOR OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY AND

FOR EACH OTHER. YOU REMIND US EVERY DAY HOW

LUCKY WE ARE TO WORK WITH YOU, AND YOU HELP

US LOOK FORWARD TO BETTER TIMES TOGETHER.

What is this life if, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs

And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,

Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,

Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,

And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can

Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare.

Leisure, by W. H. Davies
