Dear Parents, Our focus this term is on developing the characteristics of integrity and reflection. In the MP3 assembly, Mr Rob and Mr James presented scenarios for the children to discuss in their house teams. House Captains then had to feedback a group decision of how they would react in those situations and were subsequently judged on the level of integrity shown. The children showed that they are already aware of the appropriate way to act. We will all now be looking for children to show integrity on a day-to-day basis and will be rewarding children through the award of weekly certificates and the Masters of Learning for Integrity which will be awarded on June 5th.
Swimming galas always provide a chance to celebrate achievement and to show case the excellent levels our children reach in all four strokes. This year’s galas were no exception. After watching our younger members of the primary swim on Thursday, the progress was clearly visible. Well done to all our TX swimmers! Congratulations to Mr Chau and Ms Charlie for organising another very successful event and thank you to all teaching and teaching assistants for their hard work on Thursday and Friday. Our TX community were very busy this week making cards, baking cakes, swapping favourite books and taking part in Bollywood dance sessions. The connection for all these activities is one common cause, raising money to support the Nepal Earthquake fund. Thank you to everyone for helping out – this was a true community effort!
I am very much looking forward to the MP1 Production, Pirates Versus Mermaids, next week. All
children in Year 1 and 2 will be performing in the sports hall on Friday 29th May at 8:15. All parents are
very welcome to attend.

Support for Nepal
This week we have all be very busy with lots of activities to raise money for the victims of the Nepal earthquake. Almost every child from MP1, 2 and 3, (along with some teachers and some of our community partners) made a beautiful origami style greetings card, which they were then able to buy back on Thursday or Friday… unless somebody else bought it first! EYFS children swapped books with a friend, making a donation to the Nepal Fund at the same time, and lots of children had fun in the Bollywood dance classes.
MP2 and 3 children have been participating in the Charity Splash, with their friends and family sponsoring them and helping them raise more money. At the end of the week, children brought baked goodies into the school to donate to the Bake Sale... eating cakes and cookies for a good cause! A big thank you to all the parents who led the card making and Bollywood dance sessions, to those who
helped at the bake sale, and of course thank you everybody who made a donation to the fund. We will let
you know how much we raised in next week’s newsletter.

Following last year’s successful project, where we acted out and made short films about English traditional tales, such as The Three Little Pigs, we decided this year to retell Vietnamese traditional tales for our Community Project with PdV. First, the PdV and Year 4 children found out about traditional tales and then designed scenery and puppets to illustrate their stories. After that, they worked together to retell the stories in Vietnamese and film themselves using the iPads. The children worked very well together. On Tuesday 26th May, we will have a special film premiere where the Year 4 and PdV children and staff can enjoy sharing their films as well as snacking on popcorn.
