On Monday Year 1 were delighted to welcome Tortie the tortoise to TPS, where they found out all about the life of a tortoise – what they eat, how they prepare for hibernation and how to care for them. Tortie is getting ready to hibernate so is eating very little but was very happy to explore the Pre-Prep and say hello to Year 1 who loved getting to know her! #lifecycles #year1 🐢
Year 3 had a fantastic day at Ufton Court, stepping back in time for an exciting Egyptian-themed adventure! The children discovered what life was like in Ancient Egypt and learnt about the fascinating, and rather gory, process of mummification.
The children also took part in a dramatic real-life Egyptian court, where they became judges and decided the punishments for a variety of crimes. The choices were certainly not for the faint-hearted, with punishments including the loss of a limb, being fed to the crocodiles, or paying a large fine!
It was a fun, memorable and action-packed day, and the children thoroughly enjoyed bringing their Ancient Egypt learning to life.
Thank you @ufton.court for a fantastic day #year3 #ancientegyptians
On Tuesday all our pupils enjoyed the awe and wonder of space travel as they took a trip around the Milky Way and beyond.🌌
Star-spotting the constellations that will appear this week in the night’s sky with the legends from Ancient Greek mythology and exploring the sun, planets and moons in our solar system🌖
Thank you @explorerdome for the incredible shows! 🪐 #science #solarsystem
It was wonderful to gather together as a whole school community for our annual Harvest Festival this week at St Mary’s Hampton.🌾
After the long hot dry summer we were thinking about water and how precious this resource is to life on earth with House poems read by our competition winners and the Reverend Teri Ann delivering her address about the calming and healing properties of water. 💦
Our pupils delighted us with their singing directed by Mrs Harris and thank you to everyone who kindly donated items for The Hygiene Bank in Hampton.🙏💜
Thank you @hamptonchurch for hosting us 🙏

Our Year 7 and Year 8 pupils enjoyed a fascinating visit to Strawberry Hill House, the home of Horace Walpole, author of The Castle of Otranto – widely regarded as the first Gothic novel.
For Year 8, the visit brought their study of Gothic literature to life, allowing them to explore the architecture, atmosphere and influences behind the genre.
For Year 7, delving deeper into the life of Horace Walpole allowed pupils to enrich their study of identity and belonging; the house provided an opportunity to consider how our sense of identity can be shaped by our homes, possessions and the things we choose to collect.
A brilliant morning of literature, history and discovery right on our doorstep!
Thank you @strawbhillhouse for such an inspiring visit #year7 #year8 #gothicliterature
