Queen’s College Preparatory School: Autumn Update
C
ovid rules have meant pupils having to socially distance from other year groups, but Form VI, undeterred, welcomed Reception pupils to school with real bubbles. Here are some pictures of events and activities held in school during the Michaelmas term, as well as giving a flavour of what pupils have been doing in lockdown to complement their online lessons.
Virtual Harvest Festival This past October, there were strange sounds coming from the Hall and music rooms at QCPS. Rumours of frogs and toads seen in the passages and on the stairs were rife. This is because this year’s Harvest Concert was all about the plight of the frogs and toads throughout the world, where population numbers are plummeting due to habitat loss, pollution, and roads. The whole school got on board, writing poems, painting, drawing pictures, singing songs, making sets, voice-overs, stop-frame animation and origami puppets to produce our first virtual Harvest Concert - CROAK! by Sarah Baker. Over £1,000 was raised in aid of Froglife, who will be using this to help build a new frog pond, so that we all can enjoy the sound of the frogs and toads once more in central London. 5
