showcased an incredibly impressive number of invaluable personal artefacts and photos belonging to staff and pupils’ grandparents and even great grandparents.

It was particularly special to see how many children wrote accounts of their own personal family stories from WWI and WWII,

Peace Walk

The children gathered in Chapel, whilst Max P and Henry P played expertly on the bagpipes, to mark 100 years since the end of the First World War. We were joined by Capt (Retd) Dan Reed, current Deputy Housemaster of Loveday at the Senior

School, who served as a Captain in the Royal Welsh before working at Cranleigh School.

The Chapel Choir performed Willcocks’s ‘Lord, Make Me An Instrument Of Thy Peace’ with beautiful solos by Maisy B and Alice P. Jamie T played the ‘Last Post’ and ‘Reveille’ as the children and staff respected a two minute silence.

Our moving service was followed by a Peace Walk to the village me morial a nd centenary garden with all local schools.

Rangoli PATTERNS

During our topic on ‘Around the World’, we ‘Visited India’ and learnt all about making Rangoli patterns.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL

Expedition Firstly, 1U and 1D were talking about the skills you need to have to be an archaeologist when suddenly Mr Batchelor came in and sent Form 1 on a mission to find some lost artefacts!

Taking turns to use the shovels, they started to dig. To their surprise, they found lots of artefacts – for instance: a bit of gold plate, some painted statues, some tiles and pieces of a cooking pot. After all that fun, they gathered round and picked two of their artefacts to share and talk about.

HASLEMERE

We visited Haslemere Museum so we could learn more about the Egyptians. We did two workshops, mostly about mummification. In one of them we mummified our own in bandages. In the other one we saw a real Ancient Egyptian Mummy called Pa-Er-Abu.

In the first workshop we saw a pointed sort of thing that was really sharp and pulled out the brain and the rest of the organs. It was SO disgusting! I learnt that you had to take out every organ in the right canopic jar.

ORLA: My first memory of CPS was my first day at school after boarding the night before; I did not get a very good night’s sleep so I was a bit tired. I remember walking to my first lesson and it was in the Ferrier Building. I walked up the stairs and banged my head on the flower pot!

2. How did you ma nage in the first

4. Life at CPS is very busy. What is the

few days when everything was new; the buildings, the teachers, your classmates?

best time of day for you?

CHARLIE: I felt like I was in a maze, and had no idea where I was going. Luckily I had Jamie T as my shadow and a few others who I previously knew before joining the school who helped me lots. The teachers were all helpful and lots of fun.

Everyone gave me a warm welcome.

ORLA: Well I just went with the flow and when I was stuck and confused, I would ask someone in my set for help, and the teachers were very helpful and showed me where to go.

3. Have you got a favourite su bject?

What is it a nd why?

CHARLIE: My favourite subject is definitely Music. Mrs Williams is a very good and kind teacher who makes the lessons fun and enjoyable, one of the many highlights of the week.

ORLA: My favourite subjects aren’t really all academics; they are Maths, Art and Food Tech. I find Maths very challenging, and when I am doing Maths questions the only things that are going through my head are numbers and letters and all things to do with the question. I enjoy Art because nothing can be wrong and there are no limits. I find Food Tech a very relaxing subject, and I also always cook or bake with my Mum at home.

CHARLIE: I love the whole school day at CPS, being with my friends and having lots of fun.

ORLA: Going back to the Boarding House after a long day at school is the biggest relief, as I can jump on my bed as soon as I get there.

5. What is your favourite thing a bout

boarding?

ORLA: Probably on a Thursday when we have boarders’ choice dinner which is always very tasty... and fun activities such as Human Table Football.

6. Y ou love music. Tell me a bout your

musical week at CPS. CHARLIE: I tend to have lots of fun Music lessons throughout the week, making it very busy. We play amazing music from contemporary to classical. At the end of the day, we have priority time where I am a member of orchestras and bands; I love all the activities that I do, and they are an amazing way to end the day.

PHOTOS The York trip will long be remembered by Form 5; they came, they saw, they did a little sightseeing, and then they had to sit an exam!

During their three day visit, they explored Helmsley Castle, Byland Abbey, The Minster, Clifford Tower, York Castle Museum and York Aviation Museum.

Form 5 used pasta machines to roll and cut spaghetti or tagliatelle, which they transformed into tagliatelle alla carbonara. They also experimented with spinach and tomato pasta.

Continuing the Italian theme, they used yeast to develop pizza bases and enjoyed eating the finished product! Drop scones were another highlight of the year.

The Lion King Jnr

The Form 5 produ ction was truly a feast for the senses, with brillia nt a cting, bea utiful singing, fa bulous costu mes a nd ma ke-up that could gra ce the West End stage.

CPS was awash with African tribal costumes and the hum of Swahili rhythms as Form 5 took to the stage for their production of The Lion King Jnr.

This performance involved every single member of Form 5, and pupils spent the Summer term learning the musical score in their music classes; making masks in Art; designing backdrop visuals in IT and learning choreography in lessons.

Maths Puzzle Day happens every year at CPS. It involves a range of activities for the whole school, developing teamwork skills and general Maths ability.

Throughout the day, pupils do multiple Maths-related activities run by either the staff or other companies who come in. For the first time, pupils (minimum of two per year group) were given the

opportunity to become live vloggers (video-bloggers).

This year the activities included an interactive talk on probability, a Maths Relay, a Circlemania (a patterndesigning activity using only circles to improve our use of compasses), brainteasing 3D puzzles and a very intense,

competitive card game called ‘Set’.

The day was a huge success and taught us a lot of new skills. We also enjoyed the change of scenery from the Maths classroom! A huge amount of time, effort and planning is put into the day by the staff and it was well worth it.
