Message from Jo and Rachel
It’s been another busy and brilliant week at Morningside! Thank you to everyone who joined us for our OPaL Family Friday event this morning; it was such a joy to see families playing together, and especially lovely watching parents skipping and getting stuck into the games with such enthusiasm.
We’re looking forward to seeing many of you again at the Summer Fete this afternoon. Don’t forget to check the rest of the newsletter for details of next week’s end-of-year celebration sharing assemblies. It’s a great chance to come together and celebrate the children’s achievements.
This week, several classes have been out on trips, representing Morningside brilliantly at the British Museum, London Metropolitan Archives, and The Garden Classroom. It’s also been a real pleasure to welcome back some of our former pupils who’ve returned for work experience—they’ve been a great help around the school!
Have a lovely weekend.
Jo and Rachel
