Day 3: A'eesha and Ashur Petersen

What a treat we had this morning! A'eesha and Ashur Petersen, the children of the late and great Taliep Petersen, were also our guest readers. However, we didn't get around to the book reading because we were so star struck and excited; we completely forgot about it. Thankfully this joyous pair will be returning on Monday to read again. Thank you A'eesha and Ashur we thoroughly enjoyed your energy and the wonderful way you interacted with our learners.

Day 3: Caron Darby-Michaels

Our Headmistress Caron Darby-Michaels took a moment amidst all of the pressures of running our College to read her favourite children's book to our students. The boys and girls we enthralled by her reading of The Gruffalo, as you can see in the photographs here. Thank you Mrs Darby-Michaels.

Book Week: Day 3

In celebration of our first week, we made one of our book characters come to life in the form of a delicious cupcake. This week we read the classic story of Aladin and then later we saw parts of the motion picture. Each child created their very own 'Aboo' cupcake. They enjoyed every last crumb

Building our own rock pools

In class we discussed and had the opportunity to make our own little rock pool. Each learner had to identify the items and place it into the rock pool before adding the water. We could smell and touch the following items: Seaweed, a dead crab, rocks, pebbles, sand, sea snails, black mussels, limpets and a sea urchin shell.
