Year 7 and Year 5 students collaborated to understand decomposition.

Year 7 students take on the role of countries and design a water purification system.

The Year 5s receive an introductory talk from Cambridge City Council about litter and the problems it brings.

Keri Lennon, Year 2 Teacher at the City Pre-Prep, shares her thoughts on developing positive learning cycles in Early Years education.

From a very young age children test new ideas, discover their capabilities and develop as people by taking risks and trying. Along the way they will, inevitably, make many mistakes and encounter many stumbling blocks.

Part of our approach to learning in Pre-Prep prepares children to react positively and proactively when such situations arise. As a new academic year begins a fundamental concept has been focused on with pupils in 2C: problem solving.

'Do' lessons are part of a three lesson cycle project. It is based on a child-initiated learning process where pupils decide what to do and what to learn.

Building on the previous blog post, ‘Learning is not confined inside the walls of a classroom’, this post will talk about the different learning types that are taken into consideration in the Pre-prep School and how these adhere to the Stephen Perse Foundation (SPF) curriculum wheel.
