๐ฟ๐ง๏ธ Year 2 Visit Kew Gardens ๐ง๏ธ๐ฟ
It may have been a rainy day, but that didnโt dampen Year 2โs spirits on their recent trip to @kewgardens ! โ๐
The children explored a wonderful variety of plants and discovered more about how they grow, bringing their science learning to life. ๐ฑ๐ They examined plants under microscopes, created beautiful botanical drawings, and asked thoughtful questions throughout the day, showing fantastic curiosity and enthusiasm.
The day ended with a visit to the famous Palm House before the children enjoyed some well-earned fun in the amazing playground, the perfect way to round off a brilliant day! ๐ด๐จ ๐

๐ณโจ What a fantastic morning at our Reception 2026 Forest School event! โจ๐ณ
Our future Reception children and their parents got stuck into den building, showing plenty of creativity, teamwork and imagination along the way. ๐๏ธ๐ฟ Working together in teams, they collected logs and sticks, attached and hammered tarps securely into place, and decorated their dens to make them as cosy and creative as possible. ๐จ๐
Congratulations to our prize winners for the cosiest den, best teamwork and most creative design! ๐
Events like these are a wonderful way for children and families to get to know each other before starting school, helping to make the transition into Reception as smooth and enjoyable as possible. ๐
โจ We still have a few spaces available in our Reception 2026 class. To arrange a 1:1 tour with our Head, please contact admissions@wandsworthprep.com.

๐ฐโจ Year 3 Bring History to Life at the Tower of London โจ๐ฐ
As part of their history unit on how places change over time, Year 3 visited the Tower of London, one of Britainโs most famous landmarks.
From its position on the River Thames, the Tower has played many roles throughout history and has witnessed centuries of trade, migration, exploration and even crime, making it the perfect place to explore how the UK has changed over time. ๐๐
The children took part in an exciting Prisoner Tour, discovering what life was like for those held within the Towerโs walls. They learned about famous prisoners, including Sir Walter Raleigh and Alice Tankerville, and explored how wealth and status influenced their experiences and fortunes.
A fascinating and immersive day that brought history to life and helped deepen the childrenโs understanding of how significant places evolve through the centuries. ๐โจ

๐What a fantastic first day of the new half term for our Pre-Prep Nursery children yesterday! ๐
The children settled in brilliantly and enjoyed exploring the classroom and outdoor areas. From painting seaside scenes ๐จ and pirate adventures in the role play section ๐ดโโ ๏ธ to sharing books ๐ and playing outside on the bikes and with the construction area ๐ฆบ, there was lots of fun to be had.
They also got busy with their learning, matching CVC words to pictures, completing missing numbers on 1-10 number charts, and enjoying their 1:1 reading sessions. ๐ค๐๐ข
A wonderful first day full of learning and play and making the most of the sunshine โ๏ธ ! โจ๐
