St Olave's Prep School

Huge thanks to all the families who came to our first #GardeningClub of the holidays. We cleared beds, planted flowers and put in our first #potatoes of the year. Lots of watering and raking too. See you next Wednesday! #StOlavesPrep #StOlavesPrepCommunity

Huge thanks to all the families who attended our #GardeningClub events over the holidays. We managed to pick lots of #tomatoes, #courgettes, #pumpkins and #squashes to name but a few! The allotment looks amazing! #StOlavesPrep #StOlavesPrepCommunity

#StOlavesPrepYear4 love Pet Club. A cat,rabbits, and a hamster visited our school. Children learned how to feed, groom, and handle pets safely, understand their needs, and show kindness and empathy. They loved it and took home valuable lessons in caring for animals! 💛 #PetClub

📜 #StOlavesPrepYear4 had an incredible Roman Day at Kent Life. From meeting a centurion, a slave, a Celt, and even Boudicca, to crafting leather amulets and writing Latin graffiti on the walls — history truly came to life! ⚔️🏺🇮🇹 #RomanDay #StOlavesPrepUpperSchool

🎶 #StOlavesPrepYear4 had an amazing time exploring Steel Pan and African Drumming in a special workshop for Black History Month! 🥁 The children loved the rhythm and energy — a joyful way to celebrate the richness of African culture and music. 🌍✨ #BlackHistoryMonth

A huge thank you to a friend of St Os, Mrs I, for a fascinating talk on The Romans! As an archaeologist, she brought in real Roman artefacts for the children to explore – including roof tiles, mosaic pieces, coins and more. A brilliant hands-on history lesson!#StOlavesPrepYear4

🌍 What an incredible day with storyteller Khwezi from Bigfoot! #StOlavesPrepYear4 were taken on a vibrant journey through Africa — from joyful, colourful tales celebrating its rich culture to powerful stories of resilience from the slave trade. Truly captivating! #BlackHistory

🐾 Year 4 had a pawsome time at Pet Club meeting Jazzy McNaPoo – a miniature black poodle owned by Mrs McNamara’s mum! The children loved learning how to care for him, gave him cuddles, watched his tricks, and treated him to some well-earned snacks! 🐶💫 #StOlavesPrepYear4

#StOlavesPrepYear6 are loving our new Knit and Natter club with Ms M-E! 🧶 A peaceful space to chat, learn a new skill, and practise the art of patience—one stitch at a time. #StOlavesPrepClubs #KnitAndNatter

Our incredible #StOlavesPrepYear6 pupils led a powerful assembly on the Rights of the Child, inspired by @UNICEF_uk. They focused on the rights of refugee children, raising awareness and compassion across the school. A truly moving and important message. 🌍🕊️ #RRSA #UNICEF

A heartwarming transition tea party! #StOlavesPrepYear6 posed thoughtful questions, while our Year 7s responded with honesty and kindness. Shared conversations over pizza, brownies, and a spirited game of four square made it unforgettable. Thanks to our super Year 7 alumni ! 🍕❤️

From Danbury in Year 4 to Swanage in Year 5 — tomorrow, our amazing Year 6s head to Norfolk for a week of fun, adventure, and memories to last a lifetime! #ProudMoments #FromThenToNow #StOlavesPrepUpperSchool
