Prep School Mr Henry Matthews - Head of Prep
determination, skill and teamwork, and we're proud of their efforts. I will let you know the outcome of the tournament in the coming days. Staying on the theme of sport, last week our U10s attended their first ever football tournament and I am thrilled to be able to say that they came away with some silverware. Scoring plenty of goals throughout the morning and conceding only one, the team came away as overall winners. With the addition of football clubs into our co - curricular offer, we are now very much looking forward to seeing the further development and success of teams across the school. Today, musicians performed in a lunchtime concert. Parents and friends enjoyed an hour of music and entertainment, and the children put on a great show. They have all been practising hard for this event, and we're delighted to showcase their hard work and dedication. It is great to see so much progress through the year and all pupils have continued to develop both their skill and confidence. Well done to all who chose to perform. our talented Tomorrow, we are excited to welcome four teams for a friendly netball tournament. Our U11s will be out on The Lower first thing tomorrow and I know they are keen to prove themselves in what I am sure will be a
competitive morning. The girls have been working hard in fixtures and training, and this will be a great chance for them to showcase their talent. Good luck U11s! At the same time, we're also running a bush craft morning for Year 4 students. This outdoor activity is designed to teach them survival skills, teamwork, and problem - solving. The children will have the chance to explore the outdoors and learn valuable skills that will not only support them in school but also well into adulthood. I look forward to hearing all about the exciting challenges when the children return to school. We're proud of the successful events and activities we have held this week. The children of QCPS have worked incredibly hard in a busy and challenging week, but have also gained valuable learning experiences and opportunities to showcase their skills and talents. At this mid year point, it is important to reflect on how far the children have come. I feel very lucky to work in such a vibrant and exciting school and it seems like a fitting time to say well done to all of our children from Nursery through to Year 6 - you are all doing an amazing job!
This week in the Prep School has been packed with exciting events and activities. We are pleased to share some highlights with you in the following pages. World Book Day was a major focus midweek, and we celebrated it over two days. On Wednesday, children's author Claire Barker led two fantastic workshops and held a book signing during break time. The students thoroughly enjoyed learning about how Claire creates her books. On Thursday, everyone dressed up as their favourite book characters, and there were many book - themed activities, including a competition of ‘ The Masked Reader ’. We hope this event inspired our students to explore their creativity and passion for writing. The day was rounded off with a thought provoking assembly led by Year 5. They challenged us to think about books in education and we learnt about the UN rights which focused on education and whilst in the UK we are lucky to have access to this, not every child in the world has the same opportunity. As I write, I am pleased to report that The IAPS regional U11 Hockey Qualifier is underway here at Queen ’ s. We are proud to host this event and the hockey astros are filled with schools from across the region competing against each other. Our U11s have been working hard on the pitches and playing brilliantly. They are showing great
Have a great weekend.
