Our young scientists in Year 1 have been experimenting with different materials to create their own sponges. They investigated which were the most absorbent, developing their observation skills and scientific thinking. Their minds were like little sponges too, soaking up new vocabulary, big ideas and a real sense of discovery. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeLearn #Listening #AimingHigh #Nursery #PrePrep #Prep #CoEdSchool #IndependentSchool #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
There was tea, cake and plenty of cheerful chatter shared across generations in the Pavilion Café, as Year 8 welcomed their friends from the @liphookdaycentre for afternoon tea.

There have been some mysterious goings-on in the boarders’ dorms… With a shared sense of spooky spirit, the children transformed their rooms into haunting hideaways, all vying for the title of ‘Best in Spooky Class’. From cobwebs to creepy creatures, their imaginations ran wild, with results both marvellously macabre and brilliantly creative. The fun didn’t stop there; trick-or-treating and a chilling night-time walk through the woods brought just the right touch of frightful delight. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeCreate #Teamwork #Nursery #PrePrep #Prep #CoEdSchool #IndependentSchool #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex

It’s been a wonderful way to build confidence, connection and creativity through writing. #TogetherWeGrow #Speaking #AimingHigh #Creativity #Nursery #PrePrep #Prep #CoEdSchool #IndependentSchool #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
There’s no better way to connect with a story than by stepping into it and that’s exactly what our Year 7s did today at @chichesterft . In a drama workshop on Lord of the Flies, they brought the characters to life, deepened their understanding of the text and explored the tech behind theatre-making. We can’t wait to see how they bring these learnings into their performance. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeLearn #Listening #Nursery #PrePrep #Prep #CoEdSchool #IndependentSchool #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
