The Grade 7 girls enjoyed a Phys Ed lesson with their Grade 00 girls on Thursday. The little girls were able to teach the big girls how to balance on the Bosu Ball, and the big girls helped the little ones to skip with a rope.
Our incredible drama students, who all achieved a distinction (over 90%), for their practical drama exams through Trinity College London. Well done girls!
On a lovely evening the Grade 0 and 00 girls donned their finest attire and came back to school at night for Twilight Tales. There was dancing in the playground, supper and finally, the highlight of the evening, storytelling with the fabulous Gilly Southwood. Which girl would turn down and opportunity to dress up and enjoy an evening out?
Happy days reading in the Library for our Grade 00s!
