This week, the Year 6 classes went on a school trip to Kalandpark tree top walking adventure park. There were a number of different courses designed to allow students to challenge themselves and to practice risk taking in a safe and supervised environment. It was great to see students working together to help each other when approaching difficult sections of the courses, giving advice, sharing techniques they had used and even stabilising some of the footings to support one another. Some students were very busy trying all the tracks and ziplines while others concentrated on mastering new skills and pushing themselves out of their comfort zones. Seeing the students encouraging and helping their peers was a great experience to have at the beginning of the school year – skills and attributes we are sure the students will continue to use with each other throughout Year 6. This is also good preparation for the residential later in the year!
Thanks,

This week the Music Department had a virtual Juilliard visit with our curriculum specialist in Music, Amy Christman. The visit was an opportunity for the Music team to have 1:1 discussion with Amy to discuss the year ahead and further ways we can continue to support our students in their Music learning through our Juilliard-Nord Anglia Performing Arts Programme.
The highlight of last week was our WINE & CHEESE evening at the charming Villa 11! Around 100 parents and also teachers came together for a delightful night of connection and indulgence, savoring lively conversations and good vibes in a warm atmosphere.
In Year 2 this term, our topic is about staying healthy. The children have learned about eating healthily, playing outside in nature, doing lots of exercise, and sleeping well.
