Happy Holi for all who celebrate! May every day ahead be as colourful as Holi.
Did you know that Holi, the Colour Festival, is a Hindu festival to celebrate the end of winter and start of spring? One of the traditions is to spread colours onto each other to symbolise unity.

BOOK WEEK
At Pond Meadow we love books so much, we turned book day into book week – filled with activities following the theme ‘Marvellous Me’.
On Monday, students and staff celebrated each other’s strengths, REFLECTING on positive qualities.
Tuesday was about AFFIRMATION, where staff and students identified their own strengths, creating individual ‘Treasure Chests of Goodness.’
On Wednesday students made their MARVELLOUS ME t-shirts.
Yesterday, students & staff dressed as their favourite book character reflecting their personality OR they wore their t-shirts. There were also some BOOK DAY activities that took place.
And today, we finish the week sharing special messages from someone important in each student’s life.
What a wonderful week we all had!
