The Zonta Club helped our school celebrate International Women’s Day by organising a whole-school door decoration contest. Classes across the school worked creatively to design inspiring displays that highlighted women’s achievements, challenged stereotypes and shared positive messages about gender parity, equity and equality.

Science Week Ignites Curiosity Across School!

What an incredible week of discovery, investigation and wonder we have had as we celebrated Science Week! From our youngest scientists in EYFS right through to our eldest learners in Year 6, the whole primary section threw itself into the exciting world of science — and the results were truly impressive.

Every class took part in their own hands-on science experiment this week, filling our classrooms with curiosity, questions and plenty of “wow” moments. Students made predictions, tested their ideas, observed results and drew conclusions, all whilst demonstrating brilliant scientific thinking along the way. It was wonderful to see children�� engaging so enthusiastically, working collaboratively and developing a real love for enquiry-based learning.

The highlight of the week came during our special Science Assembly, where a group of talented and confident pupils took centre stage to showcase their own experiments in front of the rest of the school. Their enthusiasm was infectious, their explanations were clear and their bravery in performing in front of their peers was something to be truly proud of. The audience, students and staff alike, were captivated from start to finish, and there were gasps, cheers and wide eyes aplenty!

Science Week serves as a wonderful reminder of just how naturally curious children are, and how powerful it is when we give them the opportunity to explore, ask questions and find answers for themselves. The skills developed through science, critical thinking, problem solving, resilience and teamwork, are ones that will serve our pupils well throughout their lives.

Visitor in Year 2

Year 2 has been learning about different jobs and occupations as part of our IPC unit of ‘Á Day in the life’. This week was especially exciting because we had some very special visitors come to speak with us: aircraft engineers, dentists, and a filmmaker.

Our visitors shared fascinating insights about their work and the places where they carry out their jobs in our community. The aircraft engineers explained how they help keep planes safe and ready to fly, while the dentists told us how they care for our teeth and help people maintain healthy smiles. The filmmaker spoke about the creative process of telling stories through film and how films are made.

We also learned about the skills needed for each of these careers. Our guests talked about the importance of teamwork, problem-solving, creativity, and patience in their daily work. They showed us that learning new things and practising our skills can help us achieve many different goals in the future.

We asked thoughtful questions and were very excited to learn about so many different possibilities for the future. We would like to say a big thank you to our wonderful visitors for taking the time to share their experiences and inspire us.

Year 6 IPC Exit Point

Year 6 proudly shared their learning at the IPC Exit Point for 900 CE, showcasing a wonderful exhibition on self-chosen ancient civilisations. Each student created an information panel, a replica of an artefact, and a mask inspired by their chosen civilisation, combining both historical understanding and artistic creativity. Through this project, the students demonstrated impressive skills in history and art, and it was a pleasure to see them confidently and proudly present their work to their parents. The exhibition was a celebration of their research, creativity and enthusiasm for learning.

International Women’s Day

To mark International Women’s Day, Year 6 took part in an interactive PSHE lesson centred on the 2026 theme, “Give To Gain.” Through quick games, discussion and teamwork, students explored what gender equality means and how fairness benefits everyone. They identified and challenged common stereotypes, rewriting them into positive, equality-minded statements, and then took part in an “Achievement Gallery Walk” to learn about inspiring historical and modern women who have created change.

Little Yetis

This week at Little Yetis, we celebrated the vibrant festival of Holi – the Festival of Colours. The children explored a range of colourful, sensory activities, including creating their own beautiful artwork by dropping and blowing paint across the page to make wonderful patterns. There was also plenty of opportunity for messy play, colour mixing and dancing to lively music.

It was wonderful to see the children (and parents!) fully engaged in the activities, exploring colours and creativity together. Thank you to everyone who joined us for another joyful Little Yetis session — we look forward to welcoming you again soon!

Atendi the Yeti

Congratulations to EYFS for achieving an impressive 100% attendance. Atendi the Yeti is staying with them next week, as this was the highest overall attendance for the week.

��Ģ����Ƶ hosts an Online University Fair
By: Upasana and Abhiroop (Year 11)

During online learning last week, Ģ����Ƶ hosted an Online University Fair for the Senior students at school in order to prepare them for higher education. The event brought together a variety of different universities from around the world, giving students the opportunity to learn more about studying abroad and explore different academic pathways. Some notable universities that were attended include the University of Melbourne in Australia, the University of Tokyo in Japan and many prestigious UK institutions such as the University of Cambridge, the University of Edinburgh and Imperial College.

�� ��

The event began with a Q&A Panel Session, featuring representatives from Universities in the UK, USA, Australia and Hong Kong. The session gave a general overview of what University life is like and the unique application processes in each country. It provided students with some really valuable starting information before the event moved on to more specific talk sessions.��

Aarush, a student from Year 10, particularly enjoyed the online approach for the university fair, stating that – “It was a great system where you could connect to top universities across the globe through just your device and get advice when applying in the future.”��

Following the panel sessions, students were able to choose from a variety of smaller talk sessions focusing on more specific subjects and study destinations. Each student could attend one session from two different groups. The first group of sessions included subject-specific topics such as Career Pathways in Art and Design and Studying Medicine in the UK. The second group covered a range of topics, including applying to UK Universities, the Future of Artificial Intelligence and Preparing for Written Scholarship Applications. These group sessions were incredibly useful as students were able to get advice and information specific to the subjects they are planning to take and the countries they are planning to go to.��

A Year 11 student, Manashi said that – “Being able to talk to many university representatives helped us to approach thinking about A-level options, future universities and career aspirations.”��

The event concluded with an Open University Fair, with over 35 participating Universities from not only the UK and US, but also Australia, Belgium, Canada, Thailand and many others. This time was incredibly useful for students who had a specific university in mind. Due to the smaller number of pupils per session, it was much easier to ask one-to-one questions and receive more in-depth answers about particular topics. The representatives for the universities were also very knowledgeable, making the Open Fair an especially insightful experience.��

Another Year 11 student, Ashish, states that – “The Fair was a great opportunity to explore many universities in one place and start thinking more seriously about future options.”

Overall, even though the University Fair was online due to elections, it was an incredibly useful and informative event for students to either begin considering their future higher education options or begin preparing for university life and a really good way of using the online learning day.

Ģ����Ƶ NISSA games
By Bibhushan (Year 11) and Nijal (Year 9)

On March 9th, Ģ����Ƶ hosted their final game against Ullens in their NISSA journey before the finals, which are set to occur on Sunday, 19th March at the Premier School.

In football, the girls played with skill and swiftness, constantly weaving through the opposition, gaining their victory. Ghazal was consistently hitting shots against Ullens, firing into the goal, and scoring both goals and assisting the team to win against Ullens. Having completed the season undefeated, the girls will have high expectations going into this Sunday’s finals at Ullens

The Boys’ Basketball was action-packed and filled with emotion. They dribbled across the pitch back and forth, scoring net after net whilst keeping the ball away from Ullens. Abdul hit bucket after bucket all throughout the game and was a great leader to the team, guiding them through their struggles during the game. Despite this, Ģ����Ƶ unfortunately lost by only one point. Even though the players didn’t win, they walked out with their heads high, ready for the final match on Sunday. Based on league performances, the boys’ final day looks to be really competitive, with at least five of the six teams, including Ģ����Ƶ, realistically challenging for the NISSA title.

British Science Week
By: Luveena (year 9), Shajonee (year 9) and Sofia (year 8)

This week, from the 6th to the 12th of March, the British Science Association is hosting British Science Week. This ten-day celebration showcases different aspects of science, technology, engineering and maths. As we have been taught since a young age, science lives around us. It is involved in everything we do, from our daily activities to big things like figuring out how to heat food in the microwave.��This week, our school is hosting an in-school poster-making competition for KS3 under the topic “What will children need in the future for a positive childhood?” This involves students in the Years 7, 8 and 9 creating a poster about what they think are the problems children in the future will face and the solutions they have for them.

Students could choose between a number of topics for this motion, such as climate change, mental health problems, pollution and too much screen time. They can even make their own ideas and display each creative notion in an innovative, appealing poster and have friendly competition with other years for a generous prize, which doesn’t just stop at first place but compensates second and third as well.

This gets the students thinking about what childhood will look like for people in the future, and how it looked for children in the past. This not only gets them to be creative but also develops an element of research. The results for this competition will come out in a week, and we are excited to see the top three winners. The 1st place will receive a voucher for Workshop Eatery, 2nd place will receive a Vicky’s Stationery voucher, and the 3rd place will receive a Yellow Bamboo voucher.
