A MESSAGE FROM KATHERINE
Dear parents,
Firstly, I want to say a huge thank you to the Junior staff for all their hard work this week for inspection. It is always a challenge to be under the microscope and they have worked their socks off to make sure the inspectors get to understand why Frensham is special and celebrate our wonderful school.
​
The children have been their brilliant selves and been honest and articulate as always. They are the most important part of Frensham and they have been great. It was lovely seeing Year 2 out on a minibeast hunt, Reception practising their Maths skills with hidden amounts of objects and some tents being erected in Year 5! What an eclectic week it has been and shown Frensham off for the broad curriculum and range of opportunities that our children get here.
​
With Covid guidelines changing again, we are continuing to follow guidance and keep your children as safe as we can. If you have any concerns or need support, please get in touch with anyone in the team, we are one big Frensham family.
​
Take care
Katherine
SCHOOL MESSAGES
Drop Off/Pick Up Reminder​
As we settle into the new term, can we just remind you to please keep to the usual drop off and pick up procedures to avoid any unnecessary risks. In the drop off zone - please choose the left or right lane and drive as far down as you can before dropping your child. Please don't drop them in the middle lane. If you are using the Main Car Park, please don't stop and drop off on the road by the astro or park horizontally in parking spaces or in the driving area. Please park in a parking space before letting them out.
And finally, we know it's pretty cold, but please switch off your engines when waiting to avoid the obvious environmental and health risks.
Thank you!!
School Surveys​
There's still time to fill in the surveys that Rick sent out last week. We'd really appreciate your views on Transport and Boarding. Please click below to complete the surveys.
Malawi 2023 Calling
On Thursday 27th January we are holding a Malawi 2023 meeting in the Ballroom and hopefully on-line for those students who have already signed up for the trip and any who are still undecided. Remember, you need to be in Year 11 or above in September 2022 to take part.
I am going to be talking about the trip itself from a Frensham point of view. Hopefully there will be a couple of students who will also speak of their trip there in 2019.
Please do join us at 7pm for a glass of wine and more detailed information.

THIS WEEK AT FRENSHAM
YEAR 4 SCIENCE
This week Year 4 had the challenge of trying to find out which material is best for soundproofing. The children chose a selection of materials, wrapped it around a rattle and then used a decibel monitor to read how loud the amplitude of the sound was.
