Here’s a look at life in our Prep School over the Here’s a look at life in our Prep School over the past week 📸

Year 2 took part in Take 10 to Read, joining a Guinness World Records attempt and discovering how taking time out with a book can support our wellbeing. 📚

Year 4 created Roman shields as part of their history learning, bringing a little of ancient Rome into the classroom.

Year 6 turned their attention to circuits, putting their science learning into practice by making working burglar alarms!

4W shared the Hello Yellow message, “you are not alone”, in their first class assembly. They explored how small acts of kindness can help others, presenting their teachers with sunflowers. 🌻

Year 5 and 6 Art Club served up some sweet treats of their own, creating colourful ice cream collages! 🍦

Year 6 tested their engineering skills, building free-standing towers with just 50 art straws and one metre of tape before tackling a marble run challenge. Teams tested and adjusted their designs, working together to keep their structures steady and their marbles moving!

Year 6 also put their coding skills to work with micro:bits, creating Magic 8 Ball games and Hot Potato challenges. They used inputs, outputs and variables to make their programs respond to players’ actions!
