We are thrilled to announce that the Lower School Colour Run, held on the last day of the Trinity term, was a resounding success! Thanks to the enthusiastic participation of pupils and staff, we exceeded our fundraising target for Water Aid UK, raising an impressive total of £2,480! This amount will fund the installation of a handpump in a rural African village, benefiting a community of around 250 people - approximately the number of children in the Lower School. The event featured an exciting range of obstacles, including a giant sprinkler, water guns and laser ropes, and along with lively music it made for a colourful and fun way to end the school year. A huge thank you to everyone who supported this fantastic cause! Miss Temple and the School Councillors Total Raised: £2,480 for Water Aid UK

In an exciting Lower 3 Aztec workshop day with Rozzy from Act Out Education, the children explored Aztec culture through interactive activities. They acted out roles of various Aztec gods, delving into the rich mythology and significance of deities like Huitzilopochtli and Quetzalcoatl. A highlight was creating large, ornate headdresses, emphasising their importance in Aztec society. To wrap up the day, children carved their own soap, designing intricate patterns inspired by Aztec art, celebrating its cultural significance. The pupils thoroughly enjoyed the hands-on learning experience.
