Our Year 6 Art Scholar, Victoria, presented a selection of her work in assembly today and spoke about the materials she enjoys using most. There were ‘Ooohs’ and ‘Ahhhs’ when the cat portraits appeared, and much delight in the Octopus stop-motion animation. She also thanked the marvellous Mr Mowforth, who has mentored Victoria’s talent for art, here at The Village. Ad astra! 🤩 🎨 💫

Year 1 had a fantastic day visiting @thetoweroflondon. With Margaret as our guide, the girls learnt so many interesting facts about The Great Fire of London, whilst equally impressing with their knowledge about Samuel Pepys and the fire. It was such a thrill to be able to visit the Tower, and the girls enjoyed exploring, meeting the Beefeaters and admiring the beautiful jewels on display.

A thoughtful start to the day as Mrs Hampshire talked about #earthday in assembly this morning. The girls were impressive in their knowledge as they reflected on the plastic V planet crisis, and ways that we could all make a difference, with Greta Thunberg`s quote, "You are never too small to make a difference" firmly in their minds.

Meanwhile, #eyfs celebrated Earth Day by making mud pies and daisy chains, grass painting and writing about the animals they can see in their new classroom jungle! 🌎 ❤️

A wonderful day out at The Royal Air Force Museum`s STEM event for the Year 5 class. The girls watched an action packed Science show, and then were able to get hands on at creating motion controlled video games, programming Lego cars and testing their speed with reaction challenges... BRILLIANT!

Rehearsals for Grandparent`s Day are in full swing, and if these videos are anything to go by, The Year 6 class are certainly finding their rhythm... and it`s a powerful thing! 🎶 ❤️

Floating into the week...

The Year I girls had an amazing first swimming lesson. Following an initial assessment, the girls enthusiastically practised their gliding skills and streamlines on their front and back. Superstars! 🤩 🏊‍♀️

What makes a good friend?

As part of Year 5`s exploration of Healthy and Happy friendships in #PSHE, the class were asked to look at some Good Friend Cards, and arrange them in order of what is important to them in a friend. The activity enabled the girls to reflect on the qualities of a good friend and to recognise that real friends wouldn`t put pressure on them to do things they felt uncomfortable with, referring back to their previous lesson about peer pressure.

As the class shared their thoughts and opinions, feeding back after the activity, it was very apparent that loyalty, honesty and kindness were widely considered the most important qualities. Whilst the order might have slightly differed for some, the shared core values of our girls and the ability to articulate them, never ceases to make us proud. 🥰
