Last Friday afternoon there was great excitement amongst Pre-Prep 2 girls as they held their first ever Grandparents' Tea Party. With invitations sent out and replies received, the girls and their teachers had spent the week planning, baking and making posters.
Over the last week Y6 girls have been exploring the lives of children in the Victorian age. As part of their History lessons the girls brought their Victorian alter egos to life by dressing up and giving presentations as trappers, maids of all work, factory workers, miners and chimney sweeps.
