The final week of lessons has been fast and furious. Girls from MacLeod have been involved in cricket matches against an Australian touring side, the 1st XI girls went on tour to Edinburgh for 2 matches and of course, we have many involved in the Lower School Production of Shrek! It was brilliant to see so many girls involved on stage and behind the scenes adding to a real team effort by everyone. Well done to the following girls who were involved: Lottie H, Hannah, Isla Y, Florence, Olivia G, Annabelle G, Nadia, Edie, Isla G, Chinmayi. Good luck also to Olivia G in Year 8 who is performing in Legally Blonde at the Tyne Theatre and Opera House next week. 

We are looking forward to a busy Activities Week and lots of fun in MacLeod next week. All details regarding Monday 30th June-Wednesday 2nd July have been circulated by Mrs Rochester. The details for the final two days of term (Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th July) are outlined below and have also been emailed to parents. Do keep an eye on our House Instagram @macleodhouseds for pictures and updates.
