A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 8
We have ended this half term on a high with Year 8 continuing to impress myself and their teachers. This week there is a real buzz of excitements ahead of the Year 8 PGL trip planned for this weekend. I look forward to hearing all about their adventures after half term! Year 8 epraise totals are 16,126 with a staggering 1,540 epraise achieved this month. Well done everyone! Following on from last week here is another wonderfully written poem by a Year 8 student: Waldegrave Way Down the halls of Waldegrave, bright with morning light,
We gather our courage, our books held tight. Form tutor time chatter to lessons that flow, it’s more than a school - it’s a place we can grow. Rainy day chats when lessons are done. We may roll our eyes at a Monday start, But we leave each term a little more smart. So here’s to the days that shape who we are, To dreams that stretch wide and hopes that reach far. Waldegrave girls, bold, brave, and true. This is our story. We’re just passing through.
Well done to our Year 8 Rounders Players who won their very closely contested match against Richmond Upon Thames School 12 - 11. Miss Woods was incredibly impressed by their camaraderie and team work - well done Team! It is lovely to see students enjoying Waldegrave’s beautiful outdoor areas in the warmer weather. Please remind your child to apply sunscreen and bring a water bottle which can be refilled in school as staying hydrated will
also help students maintain focus in lessons. I wish you all an enjoyable and restful break!

BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘The Princess and the Suffragette’ by Holly Webb This is a truly inspirational book about the struggles for women and children in the early 1900s. Set in 1913, the book revolves around the suffragette movement, a campaign group active from 1903 to 1914 which used direct action to advance their aim of achieving women’s suffrage (the right to vote) in the United Kingdom. The book describes the difference in lifestyle for the poor and the rich, covering relatable topics such as divorce and adoptions. I loved how relatable all the characters were and it has slowly become one of my favourite novels of all time! I suggest this book to any historical drama fans, comedy and even non-fiction lovers. Read this if you enjoyed the ‘Rebel Girl’ series or ‘Secretly a suffragette’. I absolutely recommend this book to all ages!
