PP2B loved presenting their sharing assembly! The children spoke with confidence and joy as they shared their version of 'Colours, Colours Everywhere' by @JuliaDonaldson.
They wowed everyone with their lines - even the tricky Montgolfier brothers facts!

Our Pre-Prep had an amazing time at today’s 🪘 African Drumming Workshop!
Martin showed us how to make different sounds — fingers were the children, thumbs the parents, and palms the whole family!
Lots of rhythm, clapping & smiles all round!

From riddles to roaring like animals, the children were inspired by her 'Brown Bears in the Woods' stories and even created their own poems. 🐻🌳

🌲 Form 6 went off-grid at Boughton Woods – no Wi-Fi, no 4G, just the great outdoors!
From den building & fire making to campfire marshmallows & even a daring “rescue mission”, they embraced every challenge.
A true adventure – well done Form 6!
