JUNIOR SCHOOL SYMPOSIUM

JUNIOR SCHOOL SYMPOSIUM

The Junior School Academic Enrichment Symposium, based on the theme of ‘Movement’, saw boys from Years 3 to Year 6 enjoy a wide range of activities, from dance and drama workshops to discovering how birds fly and how sneezes spread germs, all helping to extend their learning beyond the curriculum. Ses- sions were led by teachers from departments across the College and visitors from further afield includ- ing a group of Masai dancers who led the boys in African dance workshops. In addition representatives from the deafblind charity SENSE demonstrated what it would be like to be visually and hearing impaired. The day culminated in a rambunctious re-enactment of the Battle of Zama with the Junior School boys as Roman soldiers – armed with a colourful collection of their own custom-designed shields – charging against the Upper School boys as Hannibal’s elephants.
