Senior House Pupils Go Ape!

Pupils in Forms III, IV, V & VI spent a wonderful day visiting The Lookout Discovery Centre and Go Ape in Bracknell.  The girls enjoyed hands-on science experience with  lots of activities which were all great fun.  They went on the Tree Top Adventure at Go Ape which included intricate crossings, wobbly bridges and a zip wire finale!  The girls had a wonderful day and it  was definitely a fun and memorable way to end this busy half term.  Thank you to all the staff — the girls really appreciated the encouragement!

Maypole Dancing

Yesterday, all of our pupils from FI — FVI tried their hand at Maypole Dancing and we found that it is much, much more complicated than it looks!  We had a lovely time as we wound the ribbons into a perfect pattern and then unwound them again to finish the dance exactly where we started.  Thank you so much to Mrs Baker for organising this fantastic day and thank you to Abigail Stopher from The Education Group for your endless patience as you worked with us to show us how to do it.    Here are Form V, showing us how it’s done.

Self Defence Day

On Wednesday, FV and FVI learned all about self defence, how to use public transport safely, how to safely use our mobile phone outside, how to go online safely and what to do if we are made to feel uncomfortable while out without an adult.  Many thanks to PC Angie Gayle, PC Kerry Grover and PCSO Laura Jagoe to talking us through these safety measures and to Keron, Sophie and Tony from Fighting Fit who taught us some useful moves. Now we know how to ward off an attacker and we are fully equipped to deal with any situation — thank you Mrs Mannooch for organising such a useful and informative day.

Form III & Form FIV – Ancient Greek Week

FIV & FV have spent a very interesting week learning all about life in Ancient Greece.  We learned all about art and pottery, the clothes we might have worn and all about myths and the culture, the gods and goddesses. We made crowns and Trojan horses, and in assembly, we showed off the Greek dancing we have learned.  We did our own Olympics and took part in a theatre workshop run by the Theatre Exchange. All in all, a fascinating week!

FIV Assembly

This morning, FIV led a very powerful and thought-provoking assembly.  The message was clear: we must accept  ourselves for who we are and that there are  some things about ourselves that we cannot change.  The important thing is that we must never, ever give up because we know that if we work hard and if we keep trying, we will achieve our goals.  Our girls remembered all their lines and their dancing was worthy of the West End.  Thank you Mrs Hammond, Mrs Mannooch and girls for such a wonderful assembly and to our parents who came to support us.

Junior House visit Hampton Court

FI & FII had a wonderful time yesterday at historic Hampton Court.  We learned a Tudor Dance, we visited the Great Hall where a Tudor feast, fit for a King was laid out, we learned to ride a horse, Tudor-style and we went into the Chapel where King Henry VIII got married. We had an amazing day. Thank you to all the Junior House teachers and staff who organised this wonderful trip for us.
