A very warm welcome back to school, and wishing each and every one of our families a wonderful Autumn Term!

It is wonderful to see the happy faces of our children once again, hear their cheerful voices, and experience their wonderful energy. A very special welcome to all our new students and families who are joining us for the first time. We are delighted to have you as part of our school family.

As we begin another exciting school year together, here are three simple challenges:

Be curious: Be eager to learn, ask questions, explore new ideas, and don’t be afraid to try something different. Remember, every new thing you discover is part of your learning adventure.

Be kind: Look after one another and remember that even the smallest act of kindness can brighten someone’s day. A smile, a helping hand, or inviting someone to join your game can make a wonderful difference.

Take ownership: Take ownership of your learning, your surroundings, and always ask yourself how you can make your school better.

Together, let’s make this term unforgettable!

We are excited to announce that the Student Council is back for a new term!

Our pupils have elected one representative from each class to serve on the Student Council. These representatives will be the voice of their classmates, sharing their ideas, concerns and suggestions and helping to make our school an even better place for everyone.

We are pleased to introduce our new Student Council Representatives:

Year Two: Gianni Garella
Year Three: Segun Odukoya
Year Four: Tortwer Lim
Year Five: Similoluwa Ajayi
Year Six: Atirola Olumide

Congratulations to our newly elected representatives! We look forward to seeing them listen, lead, collaborate and represent their classmates with confidence and responsibility.

Year 6 Prefects Interviews

Our Year 6 pupils have picked up forms to apply for the various school prefect roles. After completed forms are submitted, shortlisted pupils will be invited for interviews.

We look forward to seeing our pupils demonstrate their leadership qualities, confidence and sense of responsibility. The names of the selected prefects will be announced as soon as interviews are over.

At Buttercups, we understand that some parents may need a little extra time before picking up their children after school. Our After-School Programme, which runs from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., provides a safe and engaging space for children while they wait to be picked up.

Children enrolled in the programme will have the opportunity to:

Complete their homework with support
Enjoy indoor and outdoor games
Take part in creative activities such as arts and crafts
Relax and socialise with their friends

If you would like to register your child for the After-School Programme, kindly contact the Front Desk in the Nursery or Primary for more information and registration.

This week, we will be celebrating National Coding Week with an exciting coding challenge for our pupils.

This year’s theme is “Young Innovators: Creating Solutions with Code.”

Through the challenge, pupils will have the opportunity to use their creativity, problem-solving skills and coding knowledge to develop ideas and create solutions to real-world problems. The coding challenges will take place on Tuesday and Thursday, next week. We encourage every pupil to come to school with their devices charged and ready.
