AGE CONCERN INTERGENERATION PROJECT Pre-prep children attended a Christmas workshop with the residents at Binfold Croft in Kirkby Lonsdale. The children and residents talked about Christmas in the past and present.
They worked together to create some traditional Christmas decorations using cinnamon sticks, dried orange, nutmeg and cloves. We all enjoyed the lovely smells.
Year 4 Habitats Investigation Year 4 spent a muddy afternoon hunting for habitats in and around school.
‘We found lots of different habitats. In the wood, under the ground and in the stream. We even found a badgers sett in the wood.’ Autumn Burrow CASTERTON PREPARATORY SCHOOL

BOARDING
‘We played a big game of hide and seek. I loved the house plays, they were really great’ Sally Bennett
The weekend turned out to be a very enjoyable and playful weekend for the Beale boarders. The weather wasn’t too great but that didn’t stop us. We filled our time with lots of baking and cake decorating, followed by dancing, watching the house plays and a huge game of hide and seek
Gabby being very careful weighing out the sugar
‘At the weekend we baked cakes for the Dobson House Party. We also decorated them with icing and sweets. Later on we watched the house plays Hannah Lightfoot CASTERTON PREPARATORY SCHOOL
