CAMERON HOUSE SCHOOL

Dear Parents,

On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, we welcomed the ISI School's Inspection Team back to Cameron House for their final inspection; the full report will be published in the coming weeks and sent to you all; I am delighted to report their findings were extremely positive. On Tuesday morning Class 4, 5 and 6 enjoyed some super Drama workshops in school. This morning, Class 6 performed a fact-filled and highly entertaining assembly on the theme of the later decades of the 20th Century - a real "blast from the past" for all of us in the audience! I am delighted to attach the Class 3 Newsletter with this week's Insider where you can read all about the many exciting and interesting things they have been doing so far this term.

A huge thank you everyone who supported our Barn Dance this weekend! Special thanks must go to the Class Reps, helpers and all those who donated toys for the tombola (which raised £352.50), prizes for the raffle and quizzes, the i-touch raffle (which raised £290), and the bakers amongst us (who raised £213) for some of the most delicious looking cakes and tarts I have seen in a long while! Our ticket sales raised a fantastic £2,200! All the FoCH Class Reps have worked really hard to put on this fun and successful event - we hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did. Look out for the photos coming soon on the FoCH board! Jussie Hall (FoCH Chair).

We would all like to say a massive THANK YOU to our FoCH Chair, Jussie Hall, for organisiing and coordinating this superb and special event - Thank you Jussie!

We have noticed many charming key rings hanging on the children's school bags. Although these are an excellent way of indentifying individual bags we would be grateful if they could be limited to one or two as they can become a hazard when five or six are dangling! Thank you for your support.

On Friday 26th February Cameron House held their Art and Design Technology Day. This year the theme was based on Art and DT from around the world. We created a fantastic selection of artwork; decorated elephants from India, dream-catchers from North America, lanterns from China, collage and calligraphy from Japan, Aboriginal painting from Australia and clay masks based on African designs. The children were all able to take part in a range of workshops led by different teachers and the Upper School Classes were mixed into new groups for the day. It was great fun to get so creative and we all had a brilliant day! Here are some comments children made about the day: Emma Horvath - I loved Art Day, thank you Sian! Alexia Lowe - I loved making dream-catchers it was fun. Alexander Mehta - I liked decorating the Indian Elephant collage; I coloured it in at the end. Isabella de Marsillac - I loved doing the lanterns; I decorated mine with the Chinese date, two flowers in the sky with a tree and a flower on the ground. Hayden Eckbert- You know you've had a good day when you get messy! Trey Miller - I liked making the Chinese New Year lanterns; I did a dragonfly on mine.

A huge thank you to Sian Morris (Class 2 Teacher and Art & DT Coordinator) for organising this wonderful day.
