Every abandonment, every betrayal, every hateful act towards children returns tenfold a few decades later upon the historical stage, while every empathetic act that helps a child become what he or she wants to become, every expression of love toward children helps society and moves it in unexpected, wondrous new directions.

My daughter
Here are the first of no doubt many quotes and experiences from [my daughter] during her first 2 weeks at Seven Oaks:
1. "There are 2 things I don't like about Fridays at Seven Oaks mum. One is that we don't have Learning Cycle, and the other is that it means I have to wait two days before I can go back again".
2. She is up and dressed before I even go into her bedroom, a thing that never happened in her previous primary school, and is now causing me a bit of a problem as she wants to get up and go earlier and earlier each morning!
She is definitely having a great time at school so far, and I certainly feel this is in large part due to the freedom to explore her learning as an individual, the outdoor emphasis, and the respect she feels she gets from all the adults involved.
Regards and thanks to you all Harriet
