HESKETH HOUSE NEWSLETTER 6 NOVEMBER 2024
A note from the Head… I hope that you all enjoyed a lovely half term break.
Year 5 and Year 6 Trip to London Monday 28 October – Wednesday 30 October
The girls have arrived in school full of energy, purpose and ready for the busy weeks ahead. Our pupils are expected to work hard at school but are also encouraged to have fun. There are exciting and informative workshops planned throughout the year, where visitors to school share their expertise and experience with us. This enables our pupils to extend their knowledge far beyond lessons. Our girls also have the opportunity to venture out on a wide range of trips and visits to enhance their curriculum studies. This develops their curiosity, encouraging them to be inquisitive, cultivating an awareness of the wider world. Hesketh House is an exciting place to learn!
We had a superb cultural trip to London during the half term break. Our first stop was the Natural History Museum where we discovered more about the history of life on Earth, from the smallest insects to the largest mammals. We were fortunate with the weather and our next stop was the London Eye where the views of the City of London were superb. The excitement of the girls was contagious as we rose into the sky.
Mrs H Holt Year 4 Trip to Bolton Museum Tuesday 15 October Our second day commenced with an informative tour of the Houses of Parliament. We even got the opportunity to meet our Bolton MP, Kirith Entwistle. Next was a wonderful river cruise on the Thames spotting St Paul’s Cathedral, The Shard and our final destination, the Tower of London. One of the highlights was to see the amazing production of Wicked. The staging and performances were incredible. The firm favourite amongst the girls was probably our final stop, a visit to the Harry Potter Studios.
Just before the half term break our Y4 pupils enjoyed a fascinating trip to Bolton Museum. They had the opportunity to take on the role of the jewellery maker, the craftsman and the pharaoh and learnt about the process of mumification. They learnt about the importance of the Nile to trade, economy and everyday life.
What a fabulous day they had!
