It has been a very busy week and this has been my first chance to put finger to keyboard.
Despite the frenetic pace of life there have still been some magic moments to share.
The reception pupils held their fashion show today, to great acclaim from all who attended. I have not yet received any photographs of the event but I will post these next week.
All pupils on site had the chance to enjoy a picnic lunch on Thursday for Lag B'Omer. The school kitchen laid on a great spread that was enjoyed by all.
As you will be aware, over the last few weeks LJFS students have undertaken a lot of work linked to the general election.
IThis week I asked the students to predict the outcome, with a prize for anyone who guessed it correctly. The suggestions included both forms of minority government as well as coalitions of all hues. Two students did correctly predicted a Conservative majority. Dorneka and Lisa will each be awarded a £5 Amazon voucher.
One of our students, as a direct result of the work we have done, has also managed to persuade a parent to vote for the first time. They discussed policies together, watched the news, and then went to the polling station on Thursday. They did disagree about who the vote should be for but the parent stuck to their guns.
Most of the students in Brodetsky and LJFS now have a strong understanding of our election process and our democracy. The knowledge and understanding they have gained through this are an essential building block for a successful adult life.
