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.
