The Year 1 class are enjoying their phonics lesson this morning, decoding words and reading with fluency. We particularly love seeing their excellent partner work, too! 💙💛

Over to the girls this morning for Cultural Assembly as volunteers from Years 2 and 6 read the WW2 story of The Scruffy Black Dog together, followed by a performance by Seher of her piano composition, The Butterfly and the Grasshopper. A wonderful and inspiring way to start the day! Thank you, girls. 💫

The early birds catch the sunrise @thevillageschoolforgirls. Beautiful morning scenes over our half acre outdoor space in the heart of London. 😍

The Village hospital is now open for business, with Dr Clara at the helm...

The Prep class have been sharing their ailments, chatting about their general health and exploring all sorts of equipment from stethoscopes to plasters. We hear the service is excellent, and currently there are appointments available... it`s always a win @thevillageschoolforgirls, and perhaps we have some future medics in our midst! 🏥 🩹 🩺 💉 💊

A bone-tastic Science lesson for Year 3 girls today as they learned to identify three different types of joints in the body, focusing on the functions of the skeleton. The class also enjoyed working in groups to match skeletons to the appropriate creature... some a little trickier than others, and a whole lot of fun! 🦴

Sunny, wintery days are perfect for Netball fun! 🌞

Middle School have been working on their movement and agility - using fast feet for more impactful drives on to the ball. Games of Triangle Tag were played before the reactor balls were introduced... a LOT of fun to be had, and a lot of squeals to be heard!

The girls were able to recognise the benefits of the exercises, pointing out how good they were for teamwork - working and communicating together - in addition to identifying the need for fast feet and quick reactions. Moving on to ball drills and partner work, it`s wonderful to see the girls gaining confidence, and above all, having a blast! 💫

As 11+ season really kicks in - good luck out there, everyone! - it`s important to remember that there is life beyond exams, and our Year 6 class are demonstrating that in spectacular fashion. The girls have officially entered the world of business - learning about what it is to be an entrepreneur; forming a company; looking at branding and creating products with a sustainable theme. The past week saw the girls finalise their logo designs which then went to a class vote, followed by a presentation to the whole school, pitching their product ideas.

It`s a real skill to stand up in front of the school and present an idea and reasons as to why their product should be chosen, and the girls absolutely rose to the challenge. Each and every person spoke clearly, projected well, demonstrated enthusiasm for their product and added a touch of humour and interaction into their speeches - a masterclass in public speaking, and they`re only Year 6! Utterly brilliant, and they should be supremely proud of themselves - we certainly are. The school and staff cast their votes, and now the fun really begins! Watch this space for further developments... entrepreneurs in the making! 💫
