2A performed a magnificent assembly detailing the life of King Henry VIII. Along the way, they delighted the audience with Tudor dancing and singing. All the children worked incredibly hard to learn their lines and they should all feel extremely proud of both their performances.
Year 4 introduced the value of the month.
In the nursery, the children have been learning about Chinese New Year. They experienced a range of exciting activities including, tasting delicious Chinese food, designing an Ang Pow, retelling the story of the Great Race, and even took part in their own dragon parade. The children and the teachers had so much fun!
The Nursery children had a wonderful experience meeting some of the girls in Form 6. They enjoyed having stories read to them, building together, and creating using the play dough. We look forward to another visit soon!
The girls in Form 3 enjoyed a fun day out at the British Museum on Monday 5 February. In the morning they had a workshop using different devices to study paintings in Nebamun’s tomb in order to find out what he enjoyed and looked forward to in the Afterlife. They created their own versions to show what they really enjoy in life. Food features prominently!

Their favourite memories from going around the galleries include seeing the Rosetta Stone, beautiful decorations on pots and of course mummies, including mummified cats and crocodiles.
On 23 January, 18 girls from Forms 4, 5 & 6 travelled to Barn Elms Sports Trust to compete against six other schools in the annual Cross Country Championships hosted by St James.
The recent wet weather left conditions less than ideal for the runners. The Form 4 girls were first to compete, running two short laps totaling 1km. They started off strongly and Frieda narrowly missed out on a top ten finish.
The Form 5 girls ran extremely well in the next race, over the longer distance of 1.5km, finishing 4th in the team event. Three girls finished in the top 20, with Midge in 6th place and Elise in 9th.
Form 6’s race was very exciting, with Amelia and last year’s winner being well ahead of the other runners. Even with a strong end to the race, Amelia couldn’t quite overtake the leader before the finish line, but finished with a well-deserved Silver medal.
Well done to all the girls on their fantastic performances and competing exceptionally well. They all gained some excellent experience and had a very enjoyable afternoon of races.
1H enjoyed a drama workshop all about toys. They learnt about how toys have evolved over time and got to act out being their favourite toy! All the children really enjoyed the workshop and had lots of fun.
