During their Science lesson, the Year 1 class learned how to identify and sort everyday materials based on their properties. The new descriptive terminology included adjectives such as waterproof, absorbent, transparent, opaque, smooth, rough, soft, hard, stretchy, stiff, bendy, shiny and dull. Very well done, girls. 👏

Turning `trash into treasure` is the focus for the term in our @try8billionideas lessons, and the girls have been working in pairs to come up with product ideas. Suggestions have ranged from making glitter pens and rubbers, to pen pots and ear muffs, however the practicality of making them proved too challenging. The class then created prototypes of ideas that they felt were more realistic in terms of production, and provided genuine business opportunities: plant pots out of used jars, offered in a range of designs using both paints and stickers, in addition to upcycling plain clothing with embroidered patches, and lettering designed by Ada. The next few weeks will see the girls learn about market research which will help them develop their ideas, so lots to look forward to, and great to see their creativity and teamwork in action. 💫

Super proud of our Year 1 Netball club girls who have been working hard on their `catching on the move` skills. It`s brilliant to see them gaining confidence in their ball skills, and as they played Piggies in the Middle through the centre court, there was serious determination on show in their efforts to make the ball theirs. We love seeing that competitive drive, and we have no doubt that these girls are going to set the court alight in their future netball adventures! 🔥 💫

Well done to our Year 3 & 4 girls who had their first ever netball fixture last night against @sarumhallschool 👏

There was some great action on court, with lots of positives to take away from both games, and things to work on. The girls are excited for their future fixtures - bring it on! 💪

An adventurous morning in Pre Prep as the class took Mrs Street on a safari! It was amazing what could be seen with our magic binoculars... from lions, zebras and giraffes, to pink and blue dinosaurs, badgers and red fish in the sky! The girls then made giraffes out of lego and enjoyed a little monkey dance before Spanish... do mornings get better than that?!? 🦁 🐯 🦓 🦒 🦖 🦕 🐠 🐒

A tray of delicious `Ad Astra` dark chocolate biscuits made by one of our parents... the perfect Monday pick-me-up, and just another example of how special our community is. Thank you for the thought and the yumminess! 😋 💙 💛
