Dear Parents,
By the time that you read this letter,
the examinations should hopefully be finished.
This year proved to be particularly challenging because the children
insisted on taking the additional higher-level papers, which is fantastic and for
which they should be applauded. As I
have watched them working determinedly through exam after exam, it is difficult
to believe that these are the same pupils whose parents, at the beginning of
the academic year, were concerned about them becoming responsible and focused
secondary school students. They
are. I now have the daunting but
rewarding task of marking their exam papers…
Rehearsals are in full flow; the Romeos
are developing romantically whilst the Juliets are gesticulating from the
balcony; this interpretation is truly unique! I shall try to confirm costume
requirements before the weekend; please ignore any requests from your child for
the purchase of a new wardrobe!
Finally, with just a few weeks to go,
the paint arrived for the BISB Keep-Fit Studio. With Tomasz in control, armed
with rollers, paintbrushes and tubs of paint we made our way to the
basement. Working in teams of three,
wearing overalls, safety glasses and rubber gloves the children set to
work. Some pupils painted at a leisurely
pace, others ‘rolled’ frantically, whilst some preferred to paint the same
‘strip’, over and over and over again!
You should have received three letters
concerning end of year trips; copies of these are on the blog if your child has
mislaid them! I am unable to provide you
with a definite time of arrival at BISB after our night out; perhaps we could
arrange, as we did for the play night, for a group of parents to provide a
late-night taxi service? It would be
easier if I could telephone one parent on our departure from the cinema who
would them disseminate this information to others; please let me know if you are
willing to take on this task.
I hope that you have a relaxing weekend
bathed in glorious sunshine!
Best wishes,
Mrs T
