Thank you to the huge number of pupils who took part in this week’s ‘Park & Stride’ ini a ve – the last part of the path up the drive is par cularly good for toning the muscles so why not make it a habit?

On Thursday, 4S presented a Form Assembly about ‘happiness’ and it was a pleasure to welcome many parents to see it.

SUMMER TERM, Issue 5 2 Music Lessons
I am pleased to announce that I have secured a new Drum Teacher, star ng in September.
Ma Wilson comes highly recommended, and already some parents will be familiar with him as he works locally and teaches some Rose Hill pupils at JB’s Music Store in Tunbridge Wells. He will be visi ng Rose Hill on Monday 13th June, and will be giving a ‘drum demonstra on’ to all children in Years 3, 4 and 5. This will be a lovely opportunity to see a professional drummer in ac on and to hear all about what it takes to be a drummer, but also serves to hopefully whet the appe te of future and/or budding percussionists. We hope to start a healthy number of new drummers in September and Ma is available to chat to parents at any me – please either contact me, or Ma directly – details a ached.
Likewise, Miriam Cox, our ‘cello teacher is now able to expand her hours at Rose Hill and is going to come into school to speak to all the children in Years 1 and 2 on Thursday 9th June. Her talk will educate the younger children on how the ‘cello makes its beau ful sound, how the instrument is made, and what the different parts of the instrument are called. Miriam is a professional ‘cellist who studied at the Royal College of Music, o en performing in Ensembles in London and around the UK, on Radio 2 ‐ and also with Jools Holland! Again, please contact me if you would like to discuss the possibility of your child beginning lessons.
Spaces remain for other instruments as well – why not arrange a ‘taster’ lesson for your child? We offer tui on in the following instruments:
G , ‘C , V , C , T , C , F , R , D , S
Please contact me – [email protected] if you would like further informa on on any of the above.
