E xcitement According to the synonyms button on my computer, excitement means exhilaration, anticipation, delight, eagerness!

G rateful Grateful means appreciative, thankful, glad.

Excitably and gratefully we bring you the very first edition of JSM – the Junior School Mag, aptly named by Miss Eden Dovrat in Year 6. The logo is the work of Laura Cosson in Year 5 – a clever artistic combination of the Somerset tree, the bird, the idea of writing and a funky pair of sunglasses to give it JSM style. Every day exciting moments are happening for our Junior School students inside our classrooms. The majority of these pass by with only a few people realising. It could be the moment a Pre-Prep recognises a letter; it could be the first book truly read and understood; it could be a beautiful metaphor sprouted from the mouth of a clever Year 4 student; it could be a piece of writing that someone is so proud of, yet hardly any of us read. SO – that is why this JSM is so important. This is a place where the little excitable moments in literacy – written and visual - can be shared and enjoyed by a wide audience. JSM is grateful to Catherine Mcdonald and all the Junior School teachers for its birth. Catherine has been instrumental in creation and production of this e-mag and what a beautiful thing it is. We are grateful to all the students who have produced such an assortment of quality pieces for sharing those with us. Eagerly and thankfully I encourage you to read, relax and enjoy.
