The Gower School

Well done to our four TGS runners who competed in the ISA National Cross Country finals, which took place yesterday. 💫 What a beautiful day for some long distance running! We are so proud of how well each of them represented our school. 🏅

Few more snaps from the fantastic World Book Day 😍

Great Work Treats are back 🙌 Miss Gowers saw EVERY TGS child at the primary school last term to talk about their work and to enjoy a little treat each. They got to choose some stickers for their books and proudly showed Miss Gowers what they had been working on 😊 She is looking forward to seeing all the children again during the Spring and Summer terms.

Congratulations to these children who received a Special Mention 🏅 from their teachers at assembly this morning!

Well done to the eight girls from Forms 5 and 6 who represented The Gower School at the Cavendish Girls' Football Tournament! ⚽ They remained unbeaten in the group stage, earning eight points from four games and not conceding a single goal, finishing second on goal difference. In the 3rd/4th place playoff, they drew 1-1 but were unfortunate to lose on penalties, securing a fantastic 4th-place finish. 🌟👏

It is the last few days of our Readathon and our reading efforts are still going strong 💪 📚 🐛
Mr Bishop, our Head of Sports, read to many classes along with some parents 📖 The children have also kept reading to earn book spines and House Points ahead of World Book Day this Thursday 🥳

We had the wonderful Neal Zetter with us a whole day for author readings and writing workshops with ALL the primary children 🤩 The comedy performance poet and author apt LALL the children entertained whilst teaching them a thing or two about writing poetry ✍️ He had some of his books for sale too and he kindly signed them for the children😊

Form 4 and 6 had visitors reading more stories, we are so lucky to have so many parents reading for the children for Readathon 🥰

We had another lovely parent for a Readathon storytelling visit, this time in Form 4 class 📚 We heard an extract from ‘Hercules’ book. Thank you to all parents that have read to the children so far 🙏

It is our penultimate week of Readathon that will culminate with the oh so fun World Book Day next week 📚 We are still enjoying parents coming to read exciting and funny stories to us, and on Monday two mommies read to the Form 3 to our delight 🤩

For the penultimate day at the Holiday Fun Club we went to see some excellent theatre shows 🎭 The youngest ones saw ‘A Squash and Squeeze’ at Little Angel Theatre and the older group saw ‘Snow White and Rose Red’ at Sadler’s Wells. They also crafted art relating to their trips and the older children even illustrated their own fairy story books 🧚 📚 They learned some cookery skills and made wraps and sandwiches as snack 🥪 🌯

We are halfway through the half term and we are having oodles of fun 🤩 The youngest children had a blast at soft play today while the older group went for a very seasonal activity- ice skating ⛸️ They did some junk model making, origami and paper craft after their trips. They also made an awesome snack, a colourful and yummy fruit kebab 😋
