Art Week - 17th - 21st May
Pre-prep had a fantastic art week. PP1N studied the Austrian artist and architect, Freidensreich Hundertwasswer. We painted our own Dream Houses in the style of Hundertwasser. We also sketched a selection of objects and had just 2 minutes to draw each thing. Lastly we drew charcoal sketches of Mrs Naudi! Well done PP1N you all worked so hard and produced some amazing artwork
Gardening
We were very lucky to have some time gardening in the allotment with Mrs Scott. Now we have to wait and see if our flowers blossom!

On Saturday 6th June 2009, the Harrodian School celebrated its 15th anniversary with a Charity Summer Ball. The event was organised and hosted by a dedicated committee of four parents together with the Harrodian School Parent's Association. The occasion also marked ten years of dynamic and inspiring leadership by the Headmaster, James Hooke and the Principal, Peter Thomson. 
During the Spring half term 24 children and 4 teachers from the senior school embarked on another China adventure. The itinerary took in the modern delights of Shanghai, Xian, the Ancient capital of China, where we were amazed at the sight of the Terracotta Warriors dating back to 210BCE, and the beautiful Buddhist Wild Goose Pagoda.
