Message from Mr Molver
!
!
Dear parents/carers,
I hope that you've all had a wonderful week. I've been delighted to see that attendance has been
on the up for so many of our classes, thank you for your support on this! It's been a very busy
week with assessments and I'm really excited to see just how much our children have learned
when all the results come in after the weekend.
Next week is the final week of term, and we will be closing on Thursday 2nd April. We close on
Thursday as Friday is a bank holiday, on which many people in the UK will be celebrating Easter.
I'm naturally aware that this will not be the case for all, but wish you all a very happy holiday
anyway!
The message of Easter, irrespective of our backgrounds or beliefs, is an important one I believe,
and one which we could all reflect on in our own fashion. For me, the story of Easter is a story of
sacrifice and forgiveness. Sacrifice and forgiveness
I have one request this week, regarding hairstyles. I'd like to remind parents with boys that we
don't allow mohicans, or strips shaved into boys haircuts at KSA. It's an important part of our
uniform policy - it's important that our young people begin to form good habits with dressing appropriately for school so that they are ready for the world of university and professionalism when
they are older.
Don't forget that the clocks go forward this weekend, we don't want you arriving for school an
hour late on Monday!
Have a lovely weekend and a fantastic holiday,
Mr. Molver

OUR ROLLING STORY
Once there was a rich, spoilt boy called Jamie. He lived in L.A (it was the rich part), but it was
filled with rude kids. He loved to eat chocolate and sweets such as; Strawberry Shoelaces,
Crunchies and Snickers also he never liked to obey rules. One day, Jamie moved to another
school because he got bullied a lot (he was fat). When he got to his new school, he was the
most popular person because he got $50 pocket money everyday, so he bought his friends
sweets and little toys. However, he started to act rude and selfish, so his friends left him, he
was lonesome for a long time. One day Jamie went home, he saw his old friend’s from his new
school hanging out. He quickly ran back to his house, because he knew they didn’t like him
anymore and wouldn’t want to play with him. When, he got to his room something was
wrong…

BOOK LAUNCH FOLLOW UP VISIT
Reported By: Leban Awale
On Friday 20th March, a few Year 6 students revisited
McKinsey and Company. Shahd Pinheiro, Temi Farodoye, Khalid Dovie, Leban Awale, Anushka
Chaturvedi , Samiyah Amtot and Mrs Mills. It was a
fundraising event for charity and we were given the
job of convincing people to buy our book. The way
this was done was that we showed people who
worked for McKinsey our new book, along with a
book that McKinsey and Co recently published and
convinced them to buy both. The pupils and I were
allowed to stand on the tables, and do exactly what
we did at the previous event- the actual book launch,
which was read some of our stories. Amazingly, most
workers donated between £15- £150, a few even donated £300! All of the Year 6 students that took part in
this event were content and happy after returning to school, since in total we raised over £4000.
And that was just 6 KSA pupils…
HYDE PARK ISIS EDUCATIONAL CENTRE

the trip with their children.
They travelled by coach

go to the park and play. Moreover they read the Hungry Caterpillar. After that, they got to make
their own caterpillars. They all had a wonderful time and really enjoyed themselves.
