Brilliant Club Graduation

Fri 30 Apr 2021

Congratulations to our children in this year's Brilliant Club who graduated yesterday via an online ceremony! The children watched the ceremony at the end of the school day with some special snacks!

A special well done to Fatima, who wrote a speech and was brave enough to read it out in front of all the other schools - an excellent role model, well done Fatima!

Read her speech here:

'It is a privilege and honour to have taken part in this year's Brilliant club course. We learnt a lot about artists and different types of paintings such as abstract art and renaissance paintings. We learnt about how art isn’t necessarily right, wrong or how perfect it is. It’s about how you interpret the artpiece you are analysing. If you find the allegorical meaning (hidden meaning) behind the artwork, you will understand the painting clearer. My favourite part was when we focused on abstract paintings since we had to really think about the hidden meanings. We also learnt about something called ‘Art for Art’s Sake’ which means beauty matters more than the story we are meant to depict. All of us disagreed with this because we thought if art didn’t tell us a story, we wouldn’t know where to start looking and the painting would just look like lines and colours. We also learnt another phrase. ‘ Ut pictura poesis’ which translates to ‘as is painting, so is poetry’ which shows that paintings and poetry have the same importance. On behalf of all my peers and teacher, I would like to say thank you for giving us this opportunity Abaigh.'

Easter Project Museum

Fri 30 Apr 2021

Take a look at a video of our Easter Project museum here. The museum was set up in the Main Hall this week so that children across school could view all of the amazing projects that had been created.

The Easter Projects were absolutely incredible and the children should all be very proud of their hard work!

Falconry UK visit

Wed 28 Apr 2021

This week, Year 1 to Year 6 had an exciting visitor—Falconry UK! The children got to meet six types of bird, including a Kookaburra and a Tawny frogmouth owl, and learn all about their differences. For example, how they hunt, i.e. with their talons or beaks, or whether they are nocturnal or diurnal. At the end of the session, the children met a Verreaux's eagle-owl, the third largest owl in the world and largest African owl! Some of the children and staff even had a close encounter…!
