Prep Christmas Production

This week we were treated to not one but two plays from the Prep Department.   The Foundation Stage pupils

performed 'The Christmas Party' and the Pre-Prep Dept gave us ' Father Christmas and Uncle Holly '.

We thank the cast and their teachers for all the hard work

and weeks of practice that went in to giving us such lovely performances.

 Reception Classes Trip to Environmental Centre

In November Reception Classes E and P took a trip to the Environmental Curriculum Centre.  In the morning, the children enjoyed an Autumn walk, where they collected leaves and natural materials.  They then studied their findings and created colour palettes back in the classroom, using chalks.  In the afternoon, they went on a Bear Hunt and found a bear!


 

Knitting & Stitching Show

Mrs Dodd recently took Yr 10 textile students to visit the knitting and Stitching show in Alexandra Palace.  They

are seen in the picture standing in front of a sailing boat covered entirely by knitting. Mrs Dodd said, "We had a lovely day looking at all things Textiles, especially

the graduate showcase section. Thanks must go to Mrs Watson who kindly accompanied us on the day."


 

Status Quo at Babington

On Monday 28th Sept the drummer with Status Quo, Jeff Rich, visited Babington for a Masterclass in percussion.

After teaching the pupils about the history of percussion through the ages, Jeff not only gave a fabulous insight into the skill of playing the drums, but also gave pupils the opportunity to join in.

From tamborines to maracas, tom toms to bells, every type of instrument was available.

The Masterclass aims to encourage pupils to take up any instrument, not necessarily drums, and as Jeff himself says "The whole idea of my Masterclass is to inspire students to learn an instrument and if I achieve that, then my job in done."


William Morris Trip

It was decided to use the first prize money from the Chislehurst Society Awards to purchase membership of the National Trust. The Art & Textiles Department then made full use of the membership to visit The Red House, home of William Morris. It is their intention to create lots of work inspired by the visit.

We recently asked parents to submit their photos from the Foundation Stage Sports Day.   The winners were Mr Johnson, Mrs Robson and Mr & Mrs Cravens.
