Halstead Preparatory School for Girls

Comments

We are thrilled to announce that our Nursery will be opening 46 weeks a year from this September, offering girls (from 2 years) an exciting nursery experience. The extended provision will be known as Little Halstead. During term time girls will continue to participate in specialist lessons including PE, Music, Drama, Dance, Gym and Outdoor Learning. In school holidays Little Halstead will offer weekly themes, including daily activities covering all 7 areas of the Early Years Foundation stage. The girls will continue to practise skills covered throughout the term in our well-resourced classrooms and our newly re-developed outdoor area.

Fun and laughter are guaranteed, so to find out more, come along to our Little Halstead Open Morning on Friday 6th May 8.30am-9.30am, we would love to show you around. https://www.halstead-school.org.uk/admissions/little-halstead-open-morning-friday-6th-may

Nursery girls had great fun watering and weeding the school flower beds. Lovely to see our youngest pupils tending the beds and pots with such enthusiasm!
To follow their theme of Fairy Tales, the Reception girls were asked if they could make a fairy garden using a paper plate or tray. The girls had fun using the gardens in their own play, and we all agreed that the fairies would be delighted to play in any of the gardens!
Year 3 had great fun this morning playing the game 'Going Loopy'! Girls had to crack the Easter riddles to make the circle!
On a cold Wednesday morning, girls in Year 5 and 6 participated in the eagerly anticipated House Debating competition. They have spent the week tirelessly preparing their proposition and opposition arguments for the motion ‘This house believes online learning is better than being in school’. All girls spoke confidently and fluently to deliver well-constructed points and challenged each other with thoughtful points of information. Both arguments were very persuasive and they all represented their Houses admirably.
This week the Nursery Ducklings have been consolidating the letter sounds that we have covered during the Spring term. The girls confidently identified the initial sounds in words and were able to match the letter with the pictures. Super work Ducklings!
Year 5 have been learning about separating mixtures. Chromatography is a nice way to visualise that mixed colours are made up of their constituent primary colours. Not all photos show the clear colour separation yet, as they were taken at the start of the experiment!
Year 6 have spent their RE lessons recently looking at religious art depicting The Easter Story and thinking about why artists portrayed the characters as they have and painted the scenes that they chose.
In science, as part of their lesson sequence about sound, Year 4 learned about pitch and how that is changed on various musical instruments. What better way than the girls demonstrating this on their own instruments to the rest of their class!
Year 5 enjoyed getting messy with chocolate during the last extra-curricular cookery session of the term. We think the girls may have consumed more than they decorated!
On a beautiful Wednesday Year 4 had a glorious walk to to watch the matinee performance of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It was an excellent trip which has inspired the girls to write a review in their English lessons. The girls expressed balanced opinions about all aspects of the show, including the set design and music, and showed great curiosity through questioning. This fantastic afternoon was rated 5 stars by Year 4!
World Maths Day is an international celebration of mathematics. Today millions of students across the world compete in live Mathletics challenges to determine a global winner, while also participating in fun activities that highlight the wonder of numbers. Halstead girls were keen to take on the challenge!

Halstead, a dynamic and unique school for girls who love to learn, aged 2-11. #Halsteadlife #ProudtobeaHalsteadgirl

Halstead is a dynamic and unique place for girls who love to learn and fulfil their potential whilst developing confidence and self-belief through a wide range of opportunities. Halstead girls are individuals and treated as such yet they share common traits – they are bright, sparky, passionate, curious, kind and resilient. When they leave Halstead for senior school, they are ready and well prepar

The girls in Reception were delighted to perform their first assembly this week, on the theme of Mother’s Day. The girls performed and sung with confidence, remembering all their lines. The girls all said a special thank you to their mothers for all the wonderful things they do and each mummy was given beautiful daffodils by her daughter. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house! Well done Reception 👏🏻👏🏻

Today our Maths Masterclass session was run by Benji and Elena from University of Surrey on “Maths and Game Theory”. A very engaging session on exploration of the probability towards winning classic games, such as rock, paper, scissors, through mathematics and game theory.

Years 1 & 2 enjoyed an informative visit to All Saints' Woodham Woking. Father Iain spoke to the girls about the features of a church and the Easter Story. The girls enjoyed exploring the church and seeing the different items Father Iain had spoken of.

Year 6 girls enjoyed playing the mathematical game designed by their fellow class member. The game encompassed very well thought out questions and great instructions. Most importantly of all the girls agreed the game was great fun!

Once again, we are so proud of our Year 6 girls. Not just for their hard work and entrance exam results, but their passion to learn and their enthusiasm in doing so, their hunger to try new opportunities, to participate in what makes them happy, whether that’s music, dance, sport or drama. The trips out of school, the Outdoor Learning in the school grounds, their laughter and joy in all that they do, and above all, their friendships with each other which will remain long after they leave. Well done Year 6 on a fabulous set of results, we will be sad for you to leave us but we know you are prepared and ready, confident and excited and we will wish you all the best for September.

The rain did not stop Year 5 in Outdoor Learning this afternoon. The girls erected an emergency shelter and collected rainwater. As a group they collected 10 tubs of rain water and survived the weather!

Year 3 are learning about fossils in science and this week, they made their own (model) fossils from Plaster of Paris. They stuck a flag in the sand to find their own fossil back, and today, they ‘excavated’ them. This was such good fun!

Mrs Maher led assembly this morning on the theme of friendship. Mrs Maher spoke about the importance of friendships and what makes a good friend. Using a paper chain Mrs Maher illustrated what happens when the friendship chain breaks and how it affects all those around them. Mrs Maher explained that we might fall out with friends and spoke about the importance of reconciliation and forgiveness. A heartwarming assembly.

Year 6 enjoyed an afternoon at Woking Football Club stadium learning about fire safety, railway safety and water safety from volunteers from the emergency services, police and traffic police. It was a great way to learn and all enjoyed it and learnt a great deal, especially about not following a stranger who looks friendly!
