WOW!

What a wonderful end to the year we had at South Lee Prep & Nursery! The sun shone on Speech Day and we enjoyed performances and reviews led by the children themselves reflectingabusyandsuccessfulyearinsomany areas of school life! I loved listening to the pupils' academic highlights which are often difficult to share with parents and the wider community as they are in-class moments, shared between pupil and teacher. It was just lovely to hear so many 'wow' moments were takingplaceonadailybasisintheclassroom.

Matilda was an absolute highlight with children in Year 4 and upwards embracing each performance with gusto. The singing, dancing and acting were absolutely incredible anditwasparticularlyheartwarmingtosee,in front of our very eyes, pupils develop their self-esteemandconfidenceastheylearnednew performance techniques and received delightedfeedbackfromcheeringaudiences.

Our annual Parents v Staff Cricket match was great fun, with supporters enjoying picnics and a PTA BBQ. There was even a side game of rounders too!

Year 3 pupils really enjoyed singing at the Cathedral as part of the Big Sing. Along with several other local schools, the children had the opportunity to learn new pieces, guided by the cathedral staff.
