HILL HOUSE INTERNATIONAL JUNIOR SCHOOL
Important dates: On Tuesday, S6 became proud parents as four butterflies were born. The children really enjoyed watching this process and have released the butterflies at Battersea Park. See photos attached.
The transition from Small School to Lower School is underway and going very well, with the weekly visits from Miss De Giorgi as well as the Assembly visits. We also appreciate your help and support by allowing the children to be independent and only coming in if you need to speak to a teacher. Please remember to sign up with your child’s class teacher for your summative meeting about their progress and learning journeys, which will take place after Half Term.
Holiday Diaries have been sent home for you and your child to complete over Half Term. We will not be sending any spelling or reading books home on 26 May.
This past Wednesday Carl from ‘Perform’ came to visit Small School. The children were transported to the Wild Wild West where they had a fantastic time singing around a campfire, roasting marshmallows, dancing to music and pretending to be Cowboys and Indians. Please see photos attached. S3 and S6 had a very enjoyable visit to Assembly on Wednesday. They were very interested in the Brass Showcase delivered by the boys and girls in Main School and discussed playing an instrument when they get older. We have joined up with ‘Chelsea in Bloom’ and have contributed two hanging baskets.
