P1 and P2 learn about the senses
As part of their learning about the five senses, P1 and P2 girls took part in a range of hands-on activities designed to encourage exploration and discovery. They sampled different foods to experience a variety of tastes, investigated a range of scents, identified hidden objects through touch, and explored different textures using their feet.
There were plenty of smiles, laughter, and excitement throughout the morning as the girls developed their understanding of the senses through play-based learning and sensory exploration
Congratulations to our LAMDA pupils!
We are delighted to congratulate our talented girls who recently received their certificates for successfully passing their LAMDA (London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art) examinations.
The girls worked incredibly hard in preparation for their exams, demonstrating confidence, creativity and excellent communication skills throughout. Their achievements spanned a range of disciplines including Acting, Storytelling and Poetry, showcasing their ability to express themselves with imagination and skill.
Taking part in LAMDA examinations helps to develop self-confidence, public speaking skills, creativity and performance techniques, all of which are valuable both in and beyond the classroom.
School Council Elections in Prep 5
This week, pupils from Prep 5 had the opportunity to campaign to become a class councillor and to represent their peers throughout the year.
The girls delivered their election speeches with confidence, enthusiasm and a range of creative ideas.
Their proposals included improvements to the school playground, themed fun days, new canteen meal options and additional clubs to name a few!
Following each presentation, the girls made judgements based on clarity of speaking, proposed ideas and ability to engage the audience.
The votes were counted and we were delighted to elect two new councillors to this very important role.
P7 enjoy a session at the Thrive Academy
Prep 7 enjoyed sessions with Thrive Academy, learning about online safety, including the dangers of phishing, WhatsApp group drama, and being responsible for what we post online. We also worked with Made for More, who helped us prepare for the transition to Year 8, reminding us that there will be plenty of support, exciting opportunities, and new adventures ahead.
Hockey success in Germany!
We are incredibly proud to celebrate one of our P6 pupils, Lorelai, following her outstanding achievement at the Eulen Trophy hockey competition in Germany last weekend.
Representing Instonians U12, Lorelai and her team delivered an exceptional performance—winning the tournament after playing five matches across two days, securing four victories and one draw. This is an especially remarkable accomplishment as Lorelai was the youngest player on the team, competing against older pupils from P7 and Year 8.
P7 welcome a parent speaker from Preston Consultancy
Prep 7 were inspired by a visit from Old Victorian alumna Claire Preston of Preston Consultancy, who is also mum to Eva in Prep 7. Claire shared her journey as a woman in business and spoke about her work developing university student accommodation, providing an inspiring insight into future career possibilities!
P5 LEGO TECHNIC Workshop - ASPIRE
Our Prep 5 pupils once again had the fantastic opportunity to work with their friends from St Brides and Inchmarlo as part of the ASPIRE programme.
The STEAM organisation, Bricks 4 Kidz delivered an exciting workshop using Lego Technic. It was wonderful to witness great co-operation, peer support and problem solving during the sessions as the pupils created motorised lego models.
In addition, all pupils enjoyed an energetic session of physical training and team challenges with the Move your Mind programme.
Spring in Pre-School
Pre‑school girls enjoyed a wonderful afternoon in the sunshine, exploring the outdoors and playing together beautifully, making the most of the bright spring weather.
