I started at Evington Hall Convent in charge of Kinders. LGS bought the convent when the nuns retired, and I came as part of the deal. Since then I have worked throughout the year groups, finally taking over the school library when we arrived on our new Isite. Being here so long, I have watched hundreds of pupils move through both LGJS and LGS. To see these pupils develop into lovely adults has been a privilege, alongside making me feel really old! The Junior school, when you think about it, has been a huge part of my life. I watched my daughter start at 3 years old and move through both schools to her own path in teaching. As with life, there have been many laughs and tears ...mostly when pupils show fantastic acts of kindness, which reminds me why I love this job (I’m such a wet blanket). Today I am so proud of the library and am very grateful for being given the opportunity to start from scratch and develop a place of calmness and knowledge. I am looking forward to many more happy years. Happy Birthday LGJS!

We have enjoyed sun, snow, rain and high winds. Even our class Bassembly focussed on being out and about in all weathers. The snow in December and January was very welcome, for the children at least, and happy times were spent playing in the freshly fallen snow. The warmer weather brought opportunities to explore the extended school grounds. The children enjoyed making potions and looking for signs of life in the brooks and streams. Collecting natural materials is always irresistible and the children enjoyed opportunities to create pictures with their collections. The lambs in the adjacent fields were particularly photogenic this year and our friendly farmer was only too happy to talk to Kinders about the new arrivals. A highlight of the year was a trip out to the zoo. The children toured in small groups and enjoyed recognising some of the animals they had previously learned about in class. The pink flamingos were a favourite, as were the lemurs and the giraffes. The animals inspired some great paintings when the children returned to school. th Silver 5/Leicester Grammar Junior School 2017 / 2018 ANNIVERSARY EDITION2 5 5 / Leicester Grammar Junior School 2017 / 2018 Once upon a time, long, long ago in the year 2017/18, in a land not so far away there was a castle called LGJS.
