โฝ๏ธ ๐โโ๏ธ Clubs at WPS
Alongside our wraparound that runs until 6pm we have a number of extra curricular clubs. There are plenty of opportunities for our children to explore their interests beyond the classroom.
From football, karate and ballet to mini coding, Lego, art and more we have something for every child. Our Thursday morning run club is a firm favourite. With Wandsworth Common on our doorstep, itโs the perfect opportunity to get outdoors, enjoy the autumn air and run a few laps together ๐โโ๏ธ ๐
At Wandsworth Prep, we want every child to discover new interests, develop confidence and enjoy trying something new.

๐ Buddy reading
Our Reception children welcomed Year 2 children to their class for a special reading session.
The Year 2 joined the Reception class to listen to them read, helping with tricky words, sounding out and talking about the stories together.
Buddy reading is a wonderful way for older and younger children to learn from one another. Itโs also a lovely way to build friendships across the year groups.
Looking forward to the next session already! ๐

As part of this half termโs project โBig Wide Worldโ Pre Prep Nursery and Reception visited the London Transport Museum @ltmuseum ๐
During their visit the children took part in a โis this the way home?โ session and learnt and explored different ways of travelling and modes of transport in the past and present.
It was a fun, engaging and memorable day that helped bring classroom learning to life.

A huge thank you to Epsom College @epsomcollegeuk for hosting a fantastic Creative Writing Masterclass yesterday.
The children worked in small groups to โFrankensteinโ a story โ picking out 30 interesting words and phrases from a short story and using them to create a new paragraph. They then used their paragraph as the opening to their own short story. โ๏ธ
A brilliant afternoon of creativity, collaboration and storytelling, as well as a wonderful opportunity to experience Epsom Collegeโs fantastic grounds and facilities. ๐

๐ณ Forest school is a much loved part of life at Wandsworth Prep. Last week our new Reception and Pre Prep Nursery children experienced it for the first time, it was a wonderful way to end the first full week!
โ๏ธ ๐ง๏ธ Come rain or shine, our amazing forest school lead Ms Sokoli guides the children through hands on, experiential leading to build confidence, resilience, teamwork and a willingness to take risks.
Activities are carefully linked to seasonal changes and follow our curriculum, giving children the opportunity to explore, discover and connect with nature in a meaningful way ๐ฑ โจ
Learning beyond the classroom at its very best the WPS way ๐

๐ง ๐ซ While the children were enjoying their summer holidays, we were busy making some exciting improvements to our playground! Weโve added new sports Astro, a traversing climbing frame (kindly funded by our PTA) and reduced and updated the decking to create more space to play!
Itโs been fantastic to see the children enjoying their new look playground over the past two weeks, climbing, running, playing and making the most of their bigger and brighter space ๐โโ๏ธ โ๏ธ
