Friday Flyer - 6th June 2025
Dear Michael Hall Community,
As we enter into the final half term of this academic year, I reminded of the pivotal time we are in as a movement and as a school and how, of course, we will feel this on the surface of ourselves during the build up to Midsummer. Many of our contemporaries around the world are having their end of year festivals, not having the extended festival breaks during the winter and spring that we are privileged to have, and exhaling into the warmth of the summer break. We, along with our colleagues in the UK, move forward into this term feeling in ourselves, and in the children in our care, the rise towards the warmth. By entering into this half term with our Whitsun Festivals, we are reminded of the thread of truth that unites us all. The language that surpasses voice and permeates understanding amongst us all. We carry this into this term, in our 100th year.
In our school it is the time of year when school trips, exhibitions, exams, and ceremonies all begin to happen. It feels fitting that we kick off the joy of this period with the circus on the hockey pitch. This wonderful event has been a staple for many of us, each time they come. Bringing delight and excitement through dynamic storytelling and playfulness, we highly recommend the gift Nicole and Martin bring to our community. Students enjoyed a fantastic performance yesterday, and I know that families throughout our local community will continue to do so through to Wednesday 11th of June. If you would like to purchase tickets for any of their upcoming performances, please click here.
Wishing you a joyful week ahead,
Rachel Ford Blanchard
Head of Early Childhood
