Our Year 5 pupils have had a great day at @NCMME today as part of their learning centred around the Industrial Revolution. They also had the chance to go down into the coal pit to level 4, 140 metres down!

Year 5 were recently given the task of creating their own poetry after a deep-dive focused on The Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll. This morning, Celestielle and Kiyaan came to share their amazing work with Mrs Ward, Head of Prep.

In History and Geography, the Year 1 children have been learning all about castles. Today, they took a trip to Lancaster Castle and enjoyed identifying and talking about its key features. They were amazed by its outer walls and the huge portcullis.

Thank you, @RobBiddulph, for a morning filled with inspiration and creativity! And huge thanks to local bookshop @teacher_books for helping to make this happen. 🙌 #RobBiddulph #AuthorVisit 🎉📚 @macmillankidsuk

Not only did we delve into the world of illustration, but @RobBiddulph also shared his latest tale with us, inspiring us all. The children then met Rob to get their new books signed, while Ayza introduced her World Book Day spoon version of Rob's character, Peanut Jones. 📝🤩

@RobBiddulph captivated Year 3&4 with his passion for illustration and storytelling. His message that "every pencil is a magic wand” resonated with everyone, sparking a love of doodling among students (and staff!) as we worked together to draw our own pandas in hula skirts. 🎨✏️

🎉 What an incredible morning at HGS Prep School. We had the pleasure of hosting the talented author and illustrator @RobBiddulph, and it was an absolute blast. 🖌️✨
