A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 7
Last Thursday, Year 7 had the opportunity to buy cakes and play games in a lunchtime soiree run by 8EFR. I am pleased to hear about the success of this event, having raised over £200 for charity. In form time, students are continuing with the ‘Read with Me’ scheme. An abridged version of Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre has been the book followed by Year 7.
Students have also discussed and researched methods of self-motivation during their tutor times.
Congratulations to 7PUN, 7EDA and 7EST who have led the way in the house point race this week.
Well done to our Year 7 Rounders Players. They have had two recent victories, having played against Richmond Upon Thames School last week and Hampton High this week. I was told the students were great ambassadors for the school. The mental health of young people is a societal issue and one that we take very seriously at Waldegrave. Strategies to help students with their mental health are taught via the form time schedule and the PDC curriculum. We are looking to run a Mindfulness club for our Year 7 and 8 students to equip them with strategies for dealing with anxiety. The Mindfulness club will run after school each Tuesday. If your child would like to be involved, they should let their form tutor know. The sessions will begin towards the end of the month.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
Raven Winter by Susanna Bailey
I really enjoyed reading this book it’s really interesting and I learnt a lot more about what to do in certain situations. It is really quite emotional but an amazing read. I love how descriptive she is. If you enjoy this book you may also like another one of Susanna’s books, Snow foal.
