YEAR 2 SLUMBER PARTY Our Super Summer Slumber party was an absolute triumph. The children enjoyed eating pizza in their PJs, s’mores, a singalong by the campfire, and to top if off they curled up in their very own teepees supplied by Happily Ever Afters.
After a good night’s sleep, the children were excited to go for a hearty breakfast in the College Dining Hall. Everyone had a great time and the children behaved wonderfully well.
AFRICAN ARTS ENRICHMENT DAY On Tuesday 6 June Junior School pupils were treated to Djembe workshops and African inspired dance workshops and explored African Art in their lessons. Drumming expert Richard arrived with a van full to the ceiling of brightly coloured African fabric bundles, each containing a different sized Djembe drum. With a brightly coloured flag draped over a Djembe, Richard asked the children if they recognized which country the flag belonged to; with several very close guesses Richard revealed it was the flag of the West African country Burkina Faso, explaining that he had trained with a master drummer there. Seated in a circle, the children were taken through the different sounds they could create before the drumming got underway using word patterns to help the children remember. Riffs were layered up, the children had a chance to improvise whilst the main patterns were maintained and several different drumming riffs were explored becoming more advanced according to the age of the children. It was a very noisy day but one of enormous excitement!
