Off By Heart
Congratulations
to
Anna Drapper in 4S,
who
won
the
competition on Monday
in Assembly.
The
finalists, one from
each class, performed
their poem in front
of the whole school
and the standard was
amazingly high. They
were an inspiration
to us all and we will
repeat the event next
year.
Thank you to
all the children in
the school for making
the effort to ensure
the success of the event.
The competition
is organised by the BBC, and Anna will now
represent the school in the regional finals.
We will let you have more details when they
have been published.
Absences
Often in the mornings the school phone lines can be
very busy. If you are phoning to report your child’s
absence for that day, you can now e-mail us if it is
easier (before 9am please) on
office@amherst.kent.sch.uk
