What a fantastic night we had at Junior Camp last Friday! ⛺✨

A huge thank you to all the amazing parents who helped put up the tents , we couldn’t have done it without you! 🙌

We started the evening with lots of playground fun, followed by delicious pizza 🍕 and ice lollies 🍦. Later, the campers enjoyed some outdoor showers 🚿, plenty of tasty tuck 🍬, and lots of happy chatter before settling down into their tents for the night.

It was wonderful to see so many smiles and happy faces. 😊 We hope everyone had a great night’s sleep and enjoyed their Junior Camp adventure! 🌙💤

Last week we came together in the hall for our final breakfast concert of the year, and it was the perfect celebration of the incredible range of talent across Caversham Prep. From beautiful performances to confident stage presence and everything in between, the morning was filled with energy, pride, and joy.

A huge well done to all of our performers, you’ve truly shone and made the whole school proud. What a brilliant reminder of what can be achieved when creativity and courage come together. 🌟

Here’s to a year full of music, and to many more moments like this! 🎤👏

Art meets Science in Year 5! 🎨🧬

Last week, our pupils combined creativity with scientific understanding by creating self-portraits that were half "them" and half anatomically accurate human body diagrams.

The activity encouraged children to explore the structure of the human body while expressing their artistic talents, resulting in some fantastic and imaginative work. It's always exciting to see learning come to life when different subjects come together!

Well done, Year 5 future artists, scientists, and doctors in the making! 👏✨

🎤✨ Our Year 5 pupils put their debating skills to the test last week in a fantastic class debate!

The classroom was filled with thoughtful ideas, confident speaking and respectful discussion as the children shared their opinions and listened carefully to different viewpoints. 🌟

It was wonderful to see pupils building their confidence, thinking critically and using persuasive arguments to support their ideas. From powerful points to clever rebuttals, everyone showed excellent teamwork and communication skills throughout the session! 👏🗣️

We are so proud of the enthusiasm, maturity and creativity shown by all our young debaters! 💬✨

🌱🔬 This week in Science, our young explorers became plant detectives! 🍎🥕🌽
The children investigated different food plants and sorted them into six plant groups:

🌿 Leaves, 🌸 Flowers, 🥕 Roots, 🌱 Stems, 🍓 Fruits, 🌻 Seeds

We also discovered an interesting fact… not all vegetables are actually “vegetables”! 🤔 The children learned that fruits contain seeds inside, helping us tell the difference between fruits and vegetables.

Using real fruits and vegetables, the class carefully observed colours, shapes, textures and seeds while discussing which part of the plant we eat. 🍅🥒🍎

To bring their learning to life, the children then used playdough to create their own colourful fruit models, focusing on the patterns, shapes and seeds inside each fruit. 🎨🍉🍊

There were fantastic discussions, lots of curiosity, and some wonderfully creative creations throughout the lesson! 👏✨

A big thank you to Catherine Haines, our fantastic Climate Ambassador, for spending time with our Eco Council 🌍💚

Over the next few weeks, she’ll be working with our children, sharing ideas and inspiring them all about eco-sustainability. We’re especially excited for Monday, when our Eco Council will be joining her to lead a whole-school assembly, they can’t wait!

Watch this space as our young eco champions take the lead 🌱✨

Yesterday was one for the memory books! 🏛️✨

Our young explorers had an incredible trip to the Ashmolean Museum, stepping back in time to Ancient Egypt and bringing their classroom learning to life.

From fascinating mummies (a definite favourite 👀) to ancient mirrors, statues, and hieroglyphics, the children were fully immersed in history, discovering how people recorded stories long before books and screens.

They were especially intrigued by four pharaohs: Khasekhem, Taharqa, Merasum, and Djeddjehutyiuefankh, big names, even bigger curiosity!

With time to explore independently, the children showed fantastic enthusiasm, curiosity, and respect throughout the day.

A brilliant trip and a credit to how the children conducted themselves, we couldn’t be prouder! 👏✨

A huge thank you to all the amazing parents who joined us for Careers Week! 🙌

Your time, stories, and insights opened our pupils’ eyes to a world of possibilities. The children asked fantastic questions, showed real curiosity, and discovered so many exciting careers they could one day pursue.

Moments like these help spark big dreams and inspire bright futures. Thank you for helping our pupils see just how many paths their future could take! 🌟

🍞✨ Our amazing Year 5 bakers have been busy!

Recently, the classroom was filled with the smell of freshly baked bread as our pupils proudly made their very own loaves. Over Spring Term 1, they explored different types of bread, tasted a variety from around the world, researched their own recipes, and carefully brought in all the ingredients they needed.

The results? Creative, impressive… and in some cases, absolutely delicious! 😄👏

We are so proud of their enthusiasm, teamwork, and growing confidence in the kitchen. Well done, Year 5! 🌟
