All of the Pre-Prep children had worked so hard throughout the year that they
were rewarded at the end of term with a fun day at the Dinosuar Park.
The weather was glorious and we were pleased to be joined by parents,
grandparents and even a little brother. The children had a great time hunting
through the woods finding stamps and dinosuar evidence (we think we even heard a
few roars!). We then headed towards the petting area where we saw giant
tortoises, a variety of scary snakes and a few wallabies, as well as the usual
farm animals.
After lunch the children had fun exploring the play area. The zip wire and
giant climbing dinosaur proved very popular and Benjamin Barber impressed us
with how quickly he could get to the top of the climbing frame. There was a
little time after lunch for the children to find any missing stamps then Mrs
Skipper awarded medals to those who had found them all - which was
everybody! Archie's Mummy very kindly bought ice creams for everybody
(thank you), which were much appreciated. Then it was back into the
minibus for a very quiet return journey to school (only a few snores could
be heard).
A big thank you to all the children who behaved brilliantly and to all the
Mum's who helped. Can't wait until next year!

Term finished on
Saturday 4th July. 
The children and many parents attended the
Leavers’ and Old Aquilian Service at St Mary’s Old Hunstanton in the
morning, where the singing of the choir was widely praised.
The sun shone and
children and families enjoyed picnics in the grounds before attending Prize
Giving in the marquee that had hosted the annual Ball on the previous evening.
We were joined by two guests: Dominic Findlay, the Headmaster of Langley
School, who presented the prizes and addressed the School; and by Haydn Parry
the Chairman and co-founder of the charity Help for Heroes who accepted our
cheque for £26,942.78
raised through our 25 mile walk in Ben’s memory, which along with a shorter version for
the young or less hardy over the last 5 miles saw 370 people walking.
This
included 11 of the remaining 16 from Ben’s class of 2000/01. The walk was
first and foremost a tribute to Ben, but it seemed fitting that out of a
tragedy some good should come and hence our pleasure in making this
presentation.
Haydn then spoke to explain why the charity had been formed and
what the money raised might be used for.

On Friday 26th June the pre prep children ended an extremely successful Summer Week with a tea party for their grandparents. Throughout the day the children spent time preparing sandwiches and cakes to serve at the tea party and practising songs to entertain with.  On arrival the children showed grandparents to their seats and then served tea and cakes before entertaining with a selection of songs both old and new.  The grandparents were then given a guided tour of classrooms and the pre prep building. It was a beautiful afternoon and the turn out was exceptional with the majority of children having at least one grandparent to show around.
A lovely way to end a glorious Summer Week and not a spot of rain in sight!
