I hope you've had a wonderful holiday. I've just been to Japan and I can't wait for you to read all about it. I'm so glad to be heading back to school and there are lots of new friends joining us. Thank you to everyone who sent their enrollment form in. It was really tricky because so many of you wanted to have the same room mate and Miss Grimm suggested that Millie and I share again this year because we get on so well. But the other girls are all lovely and the new girls are good at so many things - especially being friends.
There have been loads of wonderful suggestions for outings including: riding, shopping, swimming, trips to the beach and a fun park, sewing workshops, a visit to the fair (I'm sure that Miss Grimm will let us do that again this year but hopefully it won't be nearly as dramatic as last time), walks and a visit to a cafe for breakfast or hot chocolate. Mrs Smith will be busy in the kitchen too making all those new recipes - she's very keen to try Tortellini Boscaiola, some seafood including salmon and of course she'll make lots of roast dinners (which she's very good at).
Brummel Bear is excited to meet all your softies with the cutest names ever - Hariette, Mustard, Peaches Primrose, Piggy, Carlos, Doggie, Fluffy and Framboise. I think we should have a midnight feast softie picnic!
Lots of you are good at lots of things, but there was definitely a trend that many of you wanted to improve in Science and Maths. I think Mr Plumpton will have to get busy with his experiments and I've heard that Professor Pluss might be coming over from Fayle to help with some extra Maths lessons. Miss Reedy is always wonderful offering extra tuition for English too. Remember when she helped me study for my test when I first arrived. She was so helpful.
There might be a little bit of confusion with the class groups as some students said that they were going into that year but others didn't specify, so if you're in the wrong class, please let my best grown up friend Jacqueline Harvey know and she will make sure Miss Grimm changes you into the correct year.
It's not too late to get your form in. Miss Grimm's expanding the school this year so there are still some spots available.
Welcome to Winchesterfield-Downsfordvale. I can't wait to meet you!
Lots of love,
Alice-Miranda xx
