Everyone is back in school feeling refreshed and revitalised after the half term break and is ready for the last part of the school year before the long summer break. This is always a very busy half term and even though it is quite long it always appears to fly in a whirlwind of activities.

The first of these activities starts this weekend because we are participating in the ‘Potters Bar Carnival’ on Sunday. We are taking part in the art show and we are entering a walking float. The event is celebrating all the work of the NHS and so our float has a medical theme and we will be pushing a bed through the streets of Potters Bar.

On Tuesday the whole school is going to Manor Lodge School on Tuesday to watch their production of ‘Mary Poppins’. Manor Lodge are very keen to forge links with our school and have already helped us with the set-up of our outdoor classroom. If our liaison with this school proves as successful as our links with Stormont and Lochinver we will be very lucky because using the resources of these schools has greatly helped to enrich the provision that we provide for the children of Little Heath.

 ‘Little Heath’s Got Talent’ is also on next Thursday night at 7.00pm. We hold this show every two years and it is always a popular event. All the children who are taking part are very excited at the thought of performing in front of an audience. Tickets have already been offered to the parents of the acts and from Monday, anyone can purchase a ticket to watch the show. They cost £4 and can be ordered through the School Gateway system.

We are completing work on our outdoor classroom this weekend so all the classes will be able to use it from next week. I would like to thank all the parents who have volunteered to do this and Mrs Robinson for co-ordinating the whole project. I know that it is going to be a great addition to the school and would like to thank the PTA for donating the money to make this possible. Our new tech room is also almost complete. We just have to order the furniture to complete it but we cannot do this until all of our windows and doors have been put in as classes have to use this space while work is carried out in their classrooms.

I hope you all have a great weekend. I am sure I will see many of you either in school working on the outdoor classroom or as I walk around Potters Bar in the parade. Please wave if you see me.
