Bolton School Primary Division Junior Boys’ School Wednesday 15th February
Spring Term, 2023 — WEEK B
We have almost reached the end of another busy half term and started this week with more musical talent on display. On Monday and Tuesday, many boys performed to their peers and parents in our annual Music Festival. The boys were grouped by instrument and, at any point over the two days, we could hear the sounds of piano, drums, guitar, violin, cello, clarinet, recorder, singing and even saxophone! It was a wonderful event and a chance for our hardworking boys (and their teachers) to demonstrate the progress they have made to small, intimate audiences.
Wednesday 15th February Swim Development Club (by invitation), 4-5pm Cubs, 6.30pm Thursday 16th February Jujitsu, 4-5.30pm LAMDA, 4-5pm Cubs, 6.30pm Friday 17th February PA Breakfast Club, 8-9am After School Hockey, 4-5pm, LP Water Polo, 4-5pm
To conclude, at the end of the two days, our Ensemble Groups showcased some rousing performances. Our independent adjudicator, Mr Andrew Pettitt, gave excellent feedback to the boys and I am sure they will take this into consideration as they continue their musical journeys. I would like to give a big thank you to all those who attended, our visiting music teachers and Miss Ormerod for her hard work in putting together not just this event, but also the recent Year 5 concert and the Young Voices event. Finally, well done to the boys for their efforts in preparing and conquering nerves to entertain their peers and families! As we approach half term, it is noticeable that some boys are looking slightly dishevelled. Some items of uniform are looking a bit more snug (shirts are unable to be tucked in because of how short they are) and hair is covering both eyes and ears - two key body parts in the learning process! Please try to visit the barber with your son and review uniform over the holiday . First impressions count and we want the boys to take pride in their appearance, as well as in all that they do! Boys are invited to come to school dressed as any character from fiction, non-fiction or poetry to celebrate World Book Day on Thursday 2nd March. The day will be lots of fun, with special assemblies, competitions, quizzes, book readings and online visits from authors. Please find linked here all the details of activities which will be taking place at KidZone next week. Book early to avoid disappointment ! We wish all our community a fantastic and safe half term holiday and hope everyone comes back ready and raring to go for the incredibly busy run up to the Easter holidays! SK
