Dear Parents
There are only two and a half weeks of term remaining. With all that still remains to be done, they will be a hectic two and a half weeks.
We start with our Inter-House Sports Day, for all pupils in Grades 3 – 7, tomorrow morning. Details follow. The High Jump and Long Jump events were held this week.
Our Grade 6’s will be performing their Shona Cultural Production for the school on Tuesday morning and for parents on Wednesday evening at 6:00pm for 6:30pm. We are all looking forward to this special annual production.
We will be holding our Inter-House Public Speaking on Tuesday morning as well, starting at 11:00pm. The Senior and Junior winners will then represent Bishopslea at the Inter-Schools Public Speaking on Monday 25th March.
The National Institute of Allied Arts Eisteddfod is in full swing. Our marimba ensembles have already competed. Our soloists, musicians and choirs are busy preparing for their entries. We wish them every success.
Please note that the last Afternoon Activities for the term will be held next Thursday.
Inter-House Sports Day
We are holding our Annual Inter-House Sports Day for all pupils in Grade 3 – 7 tomorrow, 11th March starting at 8.30am. All team lists are up on the notice board. Children should be here by 8:00am dressed in house colour T-shirts, white socks, takkies, tracksuits, hats and name badges. They are also reminded to bring sun cream. They should meet on the netball field with their house captains for warm-up and roll call. Please would pupils not bring juice as this attracts bees to the tents. Water will be provided. Prize Giving should be at approximately 12:15pm. All parents, family and friends of Bishopslea are invited. The PTA will be selling food and drinks during and after the event.
Please note that parents, relatives etc. are not allowed to go to the competitors’ tents during the events and are not allowed to give the competitors drinks and food until the event is over.
