We were absolutely delighted with I's report and had to re-read it to be sure we had read it right! I. is blissfully happy at school and couldn't wait to get back after the holidays. Whatever you are doing up there is definitely working in our household...thank you!
=============================
Thought I'd drop you a line to share with you a little of what happened on E's return from her first full day at Roedean.
She walked through the door just before 8pm. Rather than looking worn out with exhaustion as I had anticipated, she was full of beans and launched herself into telling me all about her day, talking at, I would guess, approximately 97 miles per hour!
She finally paused whilst drawing for breath and looked deep in thought. Next thing she turned to me and very intently said "Thank you so much for sending me to Roedean mum."
I thought it only fair to share her gratitude with you as, without the help and support of lots of you up there, my little girl’s experience of starting secondary school would be a whole lot different, and that it is not only appreciated by me, but also by one very happy eleven year old.
=============================
I. is enjoying her stay at Roedean so much that we have decided to send our second daughter, M. to board for a term next year.
=============================
B. is settling in well and her non-stop singing and whistling at home is testament to how happy she is!
She enjoyed the team games last Saturday and returned in the evening for the Mama Mia singalong. She has immersed herself in the extra-curricular activities and this week has done trampolining, netball, hockey and modern dance! She is looking forward to Wildlife Club tomorrow evening and a school hockey match on Saturday.
We are very grateful for all the opportunities that have been given to her, and to everyone who has helped her to fit in so well. Everyone has been extremely helpful and kind, and we are very grateful.
=============================
S. seems to be settling in so well and is very happy. The atmosphere of the school and attitude of the staff is everything we could have hoped for.
=============================
T. is indeed very happy and full of praise for the outstanding atmosphere in school. She is impressed by the amount of work and effort the teachers put into their work and is therefore trying hard to come up to their expectations.
I also have the impression that her English is improving daily and that she feels extremely well cared for. She really feels at home with you and she raves about the school to everyone - what more could we wish for as parents?
Nevertheless I must admit that I am looking forward to having her at home in Germany for the holidays because I dearly miss her. She has reminded me that the separation is only for one year - what a consolation for a mother!
