As we wrap up another eventful week here at Penshurst, we wanted to take a moment to share some of the highlights.

Red Nose Day: On Friday, Red Nose Day was celebrated with a dazzling sea of crimson schnozzles. This year, we took the difficult decision to not dress up for this event as it was very close to the previous dress-up event, and we are conscious of the burden that this may place on our families.

Rocksteady Concert: The stage was set alight this week as our budding rockstars took centre stage for the much-anticipated Rocksteady concert. From electrifying guitar solos to soulful vocals and groovy beats, our students captivated the audience with their musical prowess and infectious energy. It was truly inspiring to witness their confidence and passion shine through as they showcased months of hard work and dedication. A huge round of applause to all involved in this event.

Once again, I would like to direct you to X (formerly Twitter) where you will see a range of fantastic learning opportunities that have taken place this week.

Next week

We are delighted to share some exciting upcoming events that promise to ignite the imagination and showcase our students' sporting prowess. From magical adventures to exhilarating matches, there's something for everyone to look forward to!

Harry Potter World Trip for Year 5: Calling all aspiring witches and wizards! Our Year 5 students are in for a magical treat as they embark on an enchanting journey to Harry Potter World. Set against the backdrop of the iconic wizarding universe created by J.K. Rowling, this trip promises to be an unforgettable experience filled with wonder, excitement, and endless opportunities for adventure. From exploring the hallowed halls of Hogwarts to sampling butterbeer at Hogsmeade, our students will immerse themselves in the spellbinding world of magic and mystery. We can't wait to see the awe and delight on their faces as they step into the pages of one of literature's most beloved tales.

Year 5 and 6 Boys and Girls Football Event at Hymers: On the sporting front, our Year 5 and 6 boys and girls are gearing up to showcase their skills and teamwork at the football event hosted by Hymers. With their eyes set on victory and their spirits high, our teams are ready to take on the competition and demonstrate the true essence of sportsmanship and camaraderie. Win or lose, we know that our students will give it their all and make us proud with their passion, determination, and grace.

Here's to many more weeks filled with laughter, learning, and memorable moments ahead. Have a super weekend!
