Making short crust pastry is tricky at the best of times, but doing it in the heat?
This week our budding chefs took on a serious challenge: homemade leek, potato and cheese pie, short crust pastry and all. That takes real skill and patience especially in this weather!
We can …safely say half term cookery club was a triumph as every last pie was gobbled up at lunch.

Half terms are for haircuts…
Even the bushes need a little refresh before the children come back! There is something perfectly satisfying about watching a scruffy shrub transform into something sharp and tidy. We look forward to seeing the children's fresh haircuts next week!

Who needs a kitchen when you've got a campfire?
Our budding survival experts didn't just learn to build a fire today, they cooked on it too! Sheltered under the cool canopy of trees, the children crafted their very own bread from scratch and toasted it over the flames on …sticks.
There is something truly special about eating food you have made and cooked entirely with your own hands in the great outdoors. Every step was a skill in itself: patience, teamwork, and a whole lot of determination.

Not even a heatwave can dampen our firestarter's determination!
Our budding survival experts showed up, sweated it out, and still wanted to light a campfire, because when you're learning proper wilderness skills, there's no such thing as too hot!
However, fire …safety is always our top priority and during hot, dry weather we dial it up even further. Learning to read the environment and adapt is one of the most important bushcraft skills of all, and the children nailed it today.

Sailing demands a rare kind of intelligence, one that combines technical knowledge with instinct, teamwork with independent thinking, and careful planning with the ability to tear up that plan the moment the breeze changes. At the IAPS Sailing Championships, our sailing team tackled the day with …skill, composure and courage.
We couldn't be prouder of how they represented the school at Andrew Simpson Centres.

Every ball is a decision. Every over, a new puzzle.
Where do you place the field for this batter? Do you go round the wicket? Vary the pace or hold your length?
Cricket requires thinking three steps ahead. Reading cues, adapting, recalculating. These girls are great at it!

How can we look after our world?
That's the big question Year 2 are on a mission to answer this term, and they're diving straight in!
To fuel their enquiry, the children have been exploring the history of the seaside. Through detailed, careful sketches of shells, …they've been uncovering the story of erosion and how these precious natural objects slowly transform over many, many years.
Every pencil mark tells a story. Every drawing captures nature at work.
Watch this space as Year 2 continue their journey to become guardians of our world.
