The birds cry as the seals bathe

The ants search and the bees buzz

The grouse hide and the foxes hunt

The fish swim and the limpets cling

The spiders swing and the rabbits burrow

The pheasants run and the kites circle

The owls rest by day and wake by night

The mice scurry and the frogs hop

The sun beams and the clouds cover

The grass shakes and the dew drops twinkle

The trees grow and the heather pricks

The rain pours and the earth provides

The river flows and the rocks erode

The puddles dry out and the flowers bloom

The fossils grow older and stick in the mud

The stars shine and the memories linger

With the weather picking up, we ' ve had the perfect opportunity to get outside and practise for Sports Day. Lodge have been working hard on their sack race skills, as well as their running on the athletics track Main School have been hurdling and passing batons ready for the relays on Sports Day We hope to see lots of Main School parents at the field finals after half term.

Tuesday 16th May Athletics at RMS

We had a wonderful afternoon out at RMS on Tuesday with some of our athletes from the Lower Third and Middle Third. The girls competed in a whole athletics spectrum with some doing events like the shot put, javelin and the hurdles for the first time competitively. Our older girls came away with team gold and our younger girls, team silver A special shout out to Duchess who really excelled in the high jump and Elsie and Eleanor who were amazing in the long jump but overall, we were so proud of every one of our amazing girls

Wednesday 17th May Tennis at Maltmans and RMS

Wednesday was filled with tennis with our Middle Thirds and Form Two taking part in tennis tournaments with Maltmans and RMS respectively Great tennis was played by both year groups with new pairings being tested and some girls competing for the first time. Both teams lost out, but only marginally, and it was fantastic to play such lovely schools. Our girls were fantastic ambassadors for Godstowe
