Today we opened the doors for our Whole School Art Exhibition! The event was a heartwarming celebration of creativity and talent, with our children eagerly showcasing their artistic achievements. The turnout was incredible, thank you for attending to support our budding artists.

It was lovely to see smiles as children proudly presented their work. It was truly inspiring to see the diverse range of artwork, from vibrant paintings to intricate sculptures, each piece reflecting the unique creativity and hard work of our students.

Many parents expressed amazement at the progress their children have made. Comments like “I couldn’t believe how much my child has improved!” were heard frequently, highlighting the significant development in our pupils’ artistic skills.

We extend our deepest gratitude to all the parents who attended and supported this event. Your enthusiasm and encouragement mean the world to our young artists. We also want to acknowledge the dedication and effort of our teachers, who have nurtured and guided the students throughout their creative journeys.

Thank you for making this event a memorable success. We look forward to more opportunities to celebrate the achievements of our talented students.

Another highlight of our trip so far has been the magical evening around the campfire. Willow Class have enjoyed singing songs, sharing stories, and who knew we had so many comedians- oh the jokes kept coming! The laughter around the fire was great to watch, and it’s been heartwarming to see the children bond and support each other.

Perfect weather today for a spot of rock climbing and crate stacking! They definitely have a head for heights. There was even a spot of singing and dancing once they reached the top!

Willow Class have truly embodied the spirit of teamwork and adventure as they tackled new heights—literally! From climbing walls to crate stacking, they have been dangling in the air with enthusiasm and determination. Their cooperation and encouragement for one another have been lovely to witness.

Go Willow Class! This experience is not only building their physical skills but also fostering a strong sense of community. Some soundbites from the top of Gilwell:

‘I can feel my heartbeat through my knees!’

‘I’m shaken up here!’

‘My heart is beating so fast!’

Willow Class had a good night’s sleep—most of them, at least! This morning, the children were eager for breakfast, oh the excitement, breakfast together is so much more exciting !

They are all eager and ready for today’s activities and are looking forward to achieving more goals, though some of these heights look rather scary to us!

Willow class have arrived and have immediately immersed themselves in a variety of engaging activities. The teamwork challenge was particularly impressive, showcasing their ability to work together effectively and support each other.

Additionally, during the “Leap of Faith” activity, they demonstrated incredible climbing skills and resilience. It is wonderful to see them push their boundaries and achieve new heights, both literally and figuratively.

Shakespeare’s Globe, the renowned theatre company, visited our school today and brought the enchanting story of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” to life.

The performance was delivered by a single storyteller who skillfully used a variety of props to represent the different characters in the play. The children were thoroughly engaged and animated throughout the storytelling session. It was truly a delight to see their faces light up with excitement and wonder as they followed the magical adventures of the characters.

This experience was not only entertaining but also educational, offering ourchildren a unique introduction to Shakespeare’s timeless work in a way that was accessible and fun.

Year 6 had the incredible opportunity to hear a moving talk given by Chris Lubbe, the former bodyguard to Nelson Mandela. Chris shared his powerful story, recounting his experiences during apartheid in South Africa and his remarkable work with Nelson Mandela.

Chris Lubbe spoke passionately about the events from his childhood that led him to become an outspoken advocate against racism. His heartfelt and inspiring words resonated deeply with everyone present, leaving a lasting impact on both students and teachers alike.

One of the highlights of his talk was the emphasis on the importance of education, echoing Nelson Mandela’spowerful message: “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

Chris Lubbe’s visit was a thought-provoking and inspiring experience, reminding us all of the profound impact that courage and determination can have in the fight for justice and equality.
