Thank you Ardentist for coming into school to talk to the children about the improtance of looking after our teeth. The dentist told the children about how to prevent tooth decay, the importance of limiting sugary drinks and food and she demonstrated to the children how best to brush their teeth.

With the Easter holidays soon upon us, we would like to remind all the families that should they require specific clothing or items, to please;

Years 1-6 (Primary)

Inform the main office by email and we will inform the staff and house parents in order to make sure that everything is packed correctly.

MYP students

All the MYP students are responsible for organising their own suitcases and preparing for their departure. Please communicate directly with your child/children and make sure they know what is expected. The house parents and staff are at hand to help them should need be.

We would also like to take this opportunity to remind you that the end of term organisation including the ski ceremony has been sent for your personal organisation.

Year 5 were treated to a Science demonstration from Paul, in the Science lab. He spoke to them about dry ice and the gases involved in the making of it. He then showed them how it worked and they were able to touch the smokey gases and bubbles that were made. During this lesson, the children also investigated friction. They had to move jelly cubes, with chopsticks, from one plate to another and then discover whether it was trickier when covered with oil! A lot of fun was had by all and the children then went back to class to write up the investigation and record their findings.

Last week the students had their St Valentine's party and it was good to see that they enjoyed themselves. There were the usual group of 'full time' dancers who danced throughout the evening and some new members to the group. The students had dinner at the party and they all seemed to have a lot of fun! The next big party to organise is the end of year ball!

Each year we open our doors to students from around the world who want to join us at La Garenne for an Integration period. Two of those students this year are Sophie Pearson and Alicia Latarche from the UK, they are 11 years old and it is their first time at La Garenne.
