Monday's assembly this week was led by Ossy in Year 3. Over recent weeks he was inspired to put together a presentation on sharks and the endangered nature of many shark species.

This week, the boys were focusing on what they could do to help others.

This week, Scott House held their charity day for the World Wildlife Fund. It is a real strength of the school that each year the houses not only choose their charities - which is never an easy choice when there are so many well deserving causes - but also plan and implement their charity day.

Access to books and the encouragement of the habit of reading: these two things are the first and most necessary steps in education and librarians, teachers and parents all over the country know it. It is our children’s right and it is also our best hope, and their best hope, for the future.” Michael Morpurgo

Earlier this week, I took a prospective parent around the school and it was lovely to be able to show off the range of lessons and topics the boys study as part of their extensive curriculum. From cryptography and passwords in Computing, using microscopes in the science lab, developing their knowledge of climate change in Geography and creating Tiki heads in Art, it was evident how much the boys enjoyed their lessons.

In the assembly this week, I asked the boys to think about the importance of the very 'smallest of things'. We looked at the art work of Dalton Ghetti who makes sculptures out of pencil leads.
