Head of Pre-Prep's Message

 

We've had an absolutely fantastic STEAM week filled with captivating activities that have ignited curiosity and creativity in our young learners.  Our week kicked off with an awe-inspiring assembly led by Katie McMillan. The theme centred around 'Time', and Katie wowed the children with a range of experiments. From balloon races powered by different methods to the grand finale of 'elephant toothpaste', where a chemical reaction created a foamy explosion, the children were utterly captivated. Their reactions were priceless, ranging from wide-eyed wonder to infectious laughter!


This week, we welcomed Bangkok Soap Opera to our Pre-Prep, offering our children hands-on experience in soap making. The delightful scents wafting through the department were evidence of the joyous exploration happening within. We hope your children enjoyed crafting their own soaps and sharing this experience with you at home.


A heartfelt thank you to the parents of our Nursery and Reception children who attended the Parent Teacher Meetings. These meetings are invaluable opportunities to strengthen our partnership in nurturing your child's development. Your engagement and support are truly appreciated.


Miss Taylor and I have completed our learning walks for this half-term, and we are thrilled with the remarkable learning experiences taking place in our Pre-Prep classrooms. The warm welcomes, beaming smiles, and enthusiastic engagement we witnessed reaffirmed the vibrant learning environment we cultivate together. From frozen dinosaur discoveries to observing real caterpillars and exploring sensory materials, each class showcased the boundless curiosity and creativity of our students. It's moments like these that remind us why we love what we do!


As we head into the weekend, we encourage you to continue fostering curiosity and exploration with your child. Whether it's a nature walk, a kitchen experiment, or simply reading together, every moment is an opportunity for growth and discovery.


Wishing you all a super weekend ahead.


Best regards,

Sophie Berry
