A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 7
The end of term is a busy time for Year 7. Subject staff from Languages, Computing, DT, and Dance have presented their enrichment options for Year 8. Our students have also consolidated their work from Drop Down Day by producing a sales pitch for Friday’s assembly.
It was pleasing to watch the Year 7 Ultimate Frisbee team play their last fixture of the year on Monday, highlighting the diverse range of activities available for our students at Waldegrave. I am delighted that many of our Year 7 students have embraced the wide range of extracurricular clubs and teams that run each week.
The winners of this year’s house point competition will be announced next week, but the trailblazers this week were 7FLE, 7PIR, and 7EDA. Will it be enough to be crowned champions? We’ll have to wait and see!
Next week, we will have the Year 7 Celebration Assembly where we look back at a very successful year and crown our house point champions. We will be celebrating diversity at Waldegrave with a range of culturally themed activities on our Culture Afternoon before finishing the term with a celebration of our House Events.
As we reach the end of Year 7, I would like to congratulate all of our students on a hugely successful year. The step from primary to secondary school is a big one with plenty of hurdles to overcome, but I am proud of the way our students have met the challenge. It has been a real pleasure being their Head of Year. Ms Lyddon will be joining the school in September as the Head of Year 8, and she is looking forward to working with the year group. I would like to thank all parents and carers for their continued support and wish everyone a very restful summer break.
MR GREAVES, HEAD OF YEAR 7
BOOK OF THE MONTH
Safiyyah’s War by Hiba Noor Khan
As Setti once said “this is not goodbye, this is just see you later.”
Despite this book simply being words on a piece of paper, quotes like this can change people’s lives. This book is for anyone: people who have lost a loved one, people who are suffering through a war, people who love travelling. It is a powerful book about the importance of caring for other people, no matter who they are, what religion they are or what they believe in life.
