There was lots of audience participation and the children entered into all the fun with great enthusiasm. It was good to see a number of fables already looked at in class, as well as being introduced to some new ones. It was a thoroughly enjoyable morning - oh, and by the way, do you know why the tortoise has a shell? Perhaps someone in Year 5 will be able to tell you!Mon, 20 Feb 2012 11:01:49 +0000http://www.stainesprep.co.uk/eventview?eventtype=news&id=787 http://www.stainesprep.co.uk/eventview?eventtype=news&id=761The Friends were very pleased to present House Captains with some of the playground equipment purchased for the Upper School. Year 4 students have now received their traditional 'gift' of a recorder each and Sunflowers Nursery has some new outdoor storage. All these items were purchased by the Friends using funds raised at recent events. The Friends would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has donated time, goods and money to enable us to do this. We look forward to your continued support through another exciting year of fundraising so that we can continue to make purchases to benefit our children. Our thanks go to all who have contributed in any way, especially the Friends’ Committee, to the raising of funds for this equipment which we believe will be well used.Fri, 03 Feb 2012 12:09:49 +0000http://www.stainesprep.co.uk/eventview?eventtype=news&id=761 http://www.stainesprep.co.uk/eventview?eventtype=news&id=756On Tuesday we had the first of our Year 5 Talent Shows.

We spent the time looking at buildings and their uses and leisure facilities in the area.Fri, 27 Jan 2012 14:33:56 +0000http://www.stainesprep.co.uk/eventview?eventtype=news&id=751
