Issue 3

Class Pairs is a special event, where the older and younger children play together in order to build relationships throughout the school and not just in their year group. It links to our Wellbeing focus this half term which is My Relationships. 

As part of their topic on dinosaurs Year 1 enjoyed an exciting trip to the Oxford University Museum of Natural History.

What a fantastic afternoon Year 1 and Year 2 had with a visit from the award-winning author and illustrator Mini Grey introducing her first non-fiction book ‘The Greatest Show on Earth.  Mini gave us an interactive show all about how the earth began continuing up to the present day.  She followed this with a cartoon drawing workshop and finished with her rabbit Cadabra mesmerising the children!

Year 2 had a fabulous day learning new facts about a range of birds of prey. They also enjoyed the opportunity to handle a red kite and watch a flying display. 

Every class in the school has gone out to enjoy nature and think about the things they are thankful for. Each class is creating a collage of thankfulness as their contribution to the Harvest Celebration. 

The 10th October saw the start of the  Chandlings Prep annual informal concerts with fifteen Year 4 students performing in the Lantern Hall. These informal concerts are a wonderful opportunity for the children to show what they have been learning within their one to one lessons either in or outside of school. This was for many, their premiere performance on their instrument, in front of a supportive audience of family, friends and staff. We enjoyed renditions of We Will Rock You, Edelweiss and God Save the King.
