43 Learning & Growing Queen Boudica Primary School Congratulations on the 100th edition of The Mylander magazine - what a great achievement. We all send our congratulations and very best wishes to everyone in the community. It’s hard to believe that we’ve almost reached the end of another school year - this one has flown past. Our Year 6 pupils have already been out to visit their new secondary schools, and we’re preparing to wave them off as they finish their primary school years. We’re sure that they’ll continue to be wonderful ambassadors and responsible members of their school communities in the future, and we wish them all every possible success and happiness in their future endeavours. At the other end of school, it’s been a pleasure to welcome our new families whose children are joining us in Reception in September. It was lovely to see so many parents at our evening meeting, and last week we held our ‘Stay and Play’ sessions, whereby our new children came for an initial visit in school. Well done to everyone for having such a great time: we’re very much looking forward to seeing you again in September! There have been so many wonderful achievements over the course of this year that it’s hard to pick favourites! Of particular notes are our many sporting achievements as part of the Colchester Primary Sports League. Being part of this group enables our pupils to participate in netball and football fixtures throughout the year, as well as benefitting from additional opportunities for new sporting challenges, many of which are held at the Colchester Sports Park. We’re always so proud of our pupils who represent us so well and have a great time in the process! We are Gold Award holders for the Primary School Games award, which is a fantastic achievement. Thank you so much to all the staff whose enthusiasm and support continually throughout the year enables children to extend their skills ever further. There have been many excellent musical performances taking place throughout the year: whilst our Christmas performances seem a long time ago, they were thoroughly enjoyable and really excellent. Next week Year 6 pupils are performing their end of year show for everyone - the singing is already sounding wonderful and we’re all very much looking forward to watching the production. Choir greatly enjoyed their outing to the Charter Hall as part of the Colchester Schools Music concert: it was a great experience! Our pupils in Year 3 who all learn the guitar are tuning up and preparing to perform to their friends and families later this week, and next week our instrumental players are sharing their achievements with us. It’s so lovely to see the range of musical talent from pupils of all ages in school: well done!
