Angel Cohan represented Chrysalis School at the Tamworth Interschool Extravaganza. This is a huge equestrian event with 430 riders competing! Angel did very well in showjumping with a 4th and 5th place in her age group. It was full-on the whole 4 days…walking the jumping course at 7am, doing a jump round and tearing across to one of the 10 dressage arenas, then back for another jump round. Angel and her horse Monty arrived home happy and exhausted. They are keen to compete again next year. Congratulations Angel.
On Friday Nov 6th we have our last Assembly for the year. This one is a special one as we want to celebrate all of you! Chrysalis thrives on volunteer input, whether it be baking a cake for the market stall, picking up a paint brush at a working bee, telephoning your child's class to advise of a flood day, driving a bus to class camp, sewing up play costumes. The roles are many and varied, and they all contribute to our vibrant school community. The school would like to thank each and every one of you at this "End of year assembly…
Thanks to Kevin Doye for a few pics from the recent Class 3 Marook Farm camp. As part of the Class 3 farming main lesson, this camp lets the children get hands-on with farm life, as they milk the biodynamic cows, sluice out the shed, make Haloumi and then get to taste the fruits of their endeavours. And, of course, all the essential camping skills like pitching tents and working together as a team are laying the foundations for our amazing adventure camps in Class 7 and 8.
The next few weeks are full of meetings. We urge as many parents as possible to attend. The class meetings form a vital bridge between the class teacher and the parent body. They allow parents to get an overview of the term's lessons. They also allow an extended conversation around issues of interest to the class and a deepening of the class community. We really appreciate the effort it takes to go out on a school night, particularly for those parents who have multiple class meetings to attend. So thank you in advance!Class 5 Meeting - Wed 28th Oct 6.30pm…
