Bridgewater School – Prep. Department

Everybody loves homework – so that’s why we want to be sure you do yours properly this summer.  How many of the items on this list can you tick off before the new term begins in September?

Today’s presentation that was shown at the Prep VI Moving On assembly.  Enjoy it again!

The Prep. Magazine is a lunchtime club for pupils in Prep V and VI.  Meeting every Thursday, these pupils are assigned a class and liaise with the class teacher to identify artwork and writing for inclusion in the magazine.  Just like a seasoned news hack, it’s their job to chase teachers for ’copy’, and then to type and edit it ready for publication.  Meeting just once a week is not sufficient to produce a magazine, so the magazine team do a lot of work at home in their own time as well.  Well done to this term’s team: Alex, Finley, Freya, Holly, Jessica, and Alice from Prep VI, and Prep V’s Isabella and Juretha.

It was tense in Prep. on Monday morning as we saw the finals of the Prep. Times Tables Mastermind Competition taking place.  Every child in the department had competed in class to try to get to this place – the chance to sit in the famous black chair.  Sadly, only one from each house in each class could do so.  The competition was strong – who will forget Max from Prep I with his specialised 12 times tables putting many of the older children in the audience to shame!

After a tense competition, and some very high scoring rounds, the final winners from each class were declared.  Stanley was given pride of place for the photo – he has won the competition every year that he has entered – but well done to all our class winners.

The overall house winners were the Blue House, pictured above.

Art Club and Key Stage 1 have been busy making crafts. They will be selling items today, Monday and Tuesday in the Prep department. Items are priced between 50p and £3 and all money raised goes towards the playground fund. All Key Stage 1 children have also written a story which we have printed into a lovely storybook. These are on sale for £4. Thank you for your support!

Thank you to all our parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles and friends who came to support our EYFS children in their Sports Day today.  As Larry Grayson would say, “Didn’t they do well?”

Grace, yellow house captain, lifts the cup after a fantastic day of athletics – even the sun was on good form.  Great efforts from everybody involved – well done!

A photo gallery will be posted soon!
