Friday 8th January

Happy New Year to everybody, I hope you all had a fun-packed festive period.

It was lovely to see the collection of happy, smiling faces on Tuesday morning at

the start of a new term…but enough about the parents!!

A new year brings opportunities for

new goals and fresh starts and the idea of resolutions was the topic for F6’s assembly on Wednesday.

For my assembly this morning I used the focus of aspirations; and asked the children why it was important to have them. I used Steven Frayne as the example of how having a

dream can shape your future – ask your children who he is better known as.

As I walked around the school today I was startled by the appearance of some of the Year 7s who resembled Victorian chimney sweeps, it wasn’t auditions for Oliver but in fact some charcoal art. It has been a very creative start to the term with Year 8s taking on some product design in

Technology and lots of gymnastics in PE lessons throughout the school.

At Ralph Sadleir our resolutions are simple: to be proud of who we are and what we achieve.  I wish you all a very happy and healthy 2016 – only 351 days until Christmas!!
