Year 4 Enrichment are investigating the storytelling techniques of Aaron Becker’s wordless book ‘The Tree and the River’. They are starting to make their own wordless book and have thought about the importance of sequencing when composing a narrative. This week they created their river using wax resist, sponges and toothbrushes. As river runs throughout the whole book they needed to work together to ensure all the individual parts join up!

A big thank you to the science department who have generously provided some new books for the Prep school library. Topics range from DNA, the Periodic Table and where famous scientists got their ideas from, to fungi and forensics. They are all available to borrow from the library and can be found in the Science section and Curious Beyond the Curriculum? section. You can also browse the books in the collection remotely on the library’s online Webapp by clicking here. Catherine Duncumb
There is nothing as delightful, or as guaranteed to get you feeling Christmassy, as an EYFS nativity!
Tuesday’s performance didn’t fail to disappoint. The children poured their energy into their lines and sang their songs brilliantly. The staff encouraged (and occasionally gently cajoled) like professional stage managers and there were the odd bonus moments when things ever-so-slightly didn’t go to plan.
Well done to all the children and staff who gave us such a treat on Tuesday with Baarmy Bethlehem. It was pure joy from start to finish!
