Dear families, It is the end of this academic year. It has been yet another enjoyable and exciting year. So much has been achieved and so much progress has been made. There are so many highlights for me this year, I cannot decide which has been my favourite but as always, the greatest highlight and privilege is working with your children. We have talented, caring, responsible and generous children in our school. I am proud or each and every one of them. I would like to thank also all the adults who work at GM primary – they are an amazing TEAM and also a privilege to work with. I look forward to seeing you all again in September. Take care of yourselves. See you at 8.40am on Tuesday 3rd of September. Mrs Williams Have a restful and enjoyable weekend, Mrs Williams helen.williams@georgemitchellschool.co.uk

Everything is awesome Livin’ on a prayer

All the children in Key Stage 2 who have worked tirelessly this year to support children on the playground and

whilst they are eating in the Hall had a special treat this week. They children had an afternoon in the Extreme Play

at Waltham Forest Feel Good Centre. Thank you children for always putting others’ before you.

EXTREME REWARD

This year our summer fair was the best yet! The children took part in designing, planning and delivering their stalls.

So many people came and the atmosphere was wonderful. Thank you to all the teachers and children who worked

so hard. You all managed to make £1300 for the school funds. This money will be spent on improving the play on

the playground. A HUGE WELL DONE!

OUR SUMMER FAIR

This is my favourite photograph. Look at the little boy’s face – how excited he is?!

Can you spot the boy who is jumping off the floor with excitement?
