‘Le Château’ French Theatre

Constance Miller and Liam Arnold from Onatti Productions came to perform the play ‘Le Château’ in French and English to pupils in Prep 3 to 6. Pupils were thoroughly engaged from start to finish and there was plenty of laughter as the two actors transitioned between different characters.

Chick Hatching Project

Kindergarten were delighted to watch ten chicks hatch and grow! They not only learnt the rules of how to look after them but also learnt how to hold themwith care. Pupils now know how to identify male and female chicks and have an understanding of their life-cycle.

STEAM Week

Prep STEAMWeek kicked off with a fascinating exploration of science vs magic. Richard Pinner fromMagic and Laughter captivated and amazed pupils with his illusions and experiments, challenging them to vote on whether each act was science or magic! Pupils thoroughly enjoyed their paper aircraft building workshop as well as an interactive virtual reality (VR) experience, learning facts about minibeasts including ladybugs, butterflies and caterpillars. They also took part in an engaging Maths workshop where they explored different mathematical concepts through the playful use of bubbles and balloons.
