On Friday 13 October, Year 5 took part in their annual Polar adventures. The children spent their afternoon investigating how blubber keeps animals warm in the Arctic and Antarctic and trying to make gloopy glaciers out of clay and cornflour. During the final part of the afternoon, the children returned to the classrooms and decided where they would like to visit and planned an expedition to their chosen region. They also had to try to design logo for their trip. The children had great fun and the event gave them more of an insight into the topic which they are studying in geography.

Pre-Prep
The first three years of school – Nursery and Reception – are together called the Early Years. The Danes Hill Pre-Prep school aims to help all children to take their first learning steps in comfort, safety and confidence.

Prep
The Prep School is divided into the Junior School (Years 2 to 5), and Upper School (Years 6 to 8), each with its own Head, its own assemblies and traditions, and very much its own ethos. Children are encouraged to feel allegiance to their own particular section of the school, and this sectional subdivision ensures that the school never feels overwhelmingly big.
