Exploring Shakespeare's 'The Tempest'

Last week the Primary Section took part in a special week exploring Shakespeare's play 'The Tempest'. Everyone had lots of fun working together as a whole section during their Drama workshops. The older students supported the younger students beautifully and the younger children rose to the challenge of working with the older children. Throughout the week all the children engaged in Literacy and Arts activities based on the story and came together at the end of the week to share all their wonderful work.

Well done everyone!

IB Middle Years Programme

We are delighted to announce that La Garenne is now a fully authorised MYP school! In addition to our recent approval to offer the IB Diploma Programme from September, we have now been fully accredited to offer the IB Middle Years Programme.
 
This puts La Garenne in a unique position where we have two rigorous and globally recognised academic programmes in the Secondary School which ensure continuity of learning between the 11-18 age ranges. The future is looking very bright indeed and we are hugely excited as we move into the next chapter of La Garenne's long history.

Space and the Colonisation of Mars

The M3 language Acquisition group are looking at space exploration and the colonisation of Mars as their topic this term. The focus is not only learning about the topic but debating the relative merits and demerits of space travel and exploration. Today the students were debating whether it is better to stay on Earth and fix the problems or travel into space and improve humanity that way.
Unfortunately the photos do not have sound, otherwise you would hear the energy and passion in the various arguments, but if you look at their hands you will see the body language being used to emphasis their points.

Break-time reading

Lots of our La Garenne students love a good book and some of them spend almost every break reading.  We’re glad that reading is so popular as we know that it’s not just enjoyable, but it’s good for us too.  Did you know that reading regularly has lots of benefits?  It improves our brain connectivity, increases our vocabulary, empowers us to empathise with other people and reduces stress!
