The four Houses of Chiswick and Bedford Park Preparatory School, (Thornycroft, Yeats, Shaw and Hogarth), recently held their first assemblies of the new school year.
Form 6 house captains organised fun activities for their houses to take part in, such as a team building game for Hogarth and a graphic design competition for Shaw.
Pupils in Year 2 enjoyed a visit on Friday from Barney the dog. He joined them for their science lesson, as they learnt about how to care for animals.
Congratulations to all our prize winners in the Chiswick Book Festival Young People’s Poetry Competition 2018:
They were thrilled to receive their prizes ad certificates from Roger McGough on Friday 14th September.
The girls in Form 3 had a fantastic day out at the Alice Holt Forest School. They found and held a slow-worm (legless lizard), collected silver birch bark ‘paper’ for tinder, learnt to identify and ate beech nuts and wood sorrel. The main highlights for most of the girls were probably building a den, learning to use a flint to light a fire over which they toasted marshmallows and walking Harry, the four-legged companion of our team leader, Nigel.
It all made for a great start to the year!
Responsibility is about doing all you can to be the best person possible.

Thank you to everyone who joined in the Shaw House fundraiser. The children enjoyed guessing the name of a small soft toy dog and designing a coat for hearing dogs. The money raised will go towards supporting the charity, Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. Here are some of our winning designs! The school raised a total of £384.05.
The Street Party on Saturday was a huge success, raising an enormous sum for our chosen charity Shooting Star Chase. The mixture of games, face painting, hair braiding, magic show, barbeque, music and raffle among many other activities, were enjoyed by both parents, children, grandparents and staff. Thank you to the Co-Chairs of the Parents Association, Steph and Ava, to the Street Party Committee and to everyone who helped make the day such a fantastic occasion and especially to Ling who orchestrated the event from start to finish.
Sports Day was a huge success! Fabulous weather, great sportsmanship and endless enthusiasm by the children, staff and parents.
The Summer Art Exhibition was a vibrant and inspiring event, enjoyed by pupils, parents and staff. The colourful and creative art pieces included watercolour paintings, batiks, sculptures, masks, hats, mosaics and exciting senses books.
Key Stage 2 children attended a very exciting ‘Internet Legends’ Assembly, which discussed phishing, being nice online, being brave, creating strong passwords and reporting unacceptable behaviour. The children had the chance to hold Collins the cat and learnt how quickly things can be spread across the Internet. The children enjoyed the interactive workshop and were a fantastic audience members. They made a pledge to be safer when Online!
The Google Team recommended ( with parental permission) that children go home and play the Interland game which reinforces the 5 key messages from the Assembly.
