This week, I embarked on a spiritual journey with the Diocese and attended the Head's conference to think about spirituality and what it means. I thought about what spirituality means to me and being in nature and looking out at beautiful sights really makes me calm and ready to tackle what is ahead. Spirituality is something we are going to be looking at across the school and asking the children to think deeply about and reflect upon. A F Steadman visited the school last year as one of our very popular author visits. She ran an activity with the children to come up with a potential name for a future unicorn character in her new book. Seth in Y6, suggested Silver Shadow which ended up getting the most votes. The latest book Skandar and the Spirit War has recently been released, and Seth was absolutely thrilled to discover a character named Silver Shadow in the story! It was such an exciting surprise for him, and really special to know that Thomas Coram’s children helped contribute to the book. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
