Junior Reflections Week 26 2024

After the sports gala dinner last Friday, some pupils headed straight out again the same night to take on the 1633 Challenge on Dartmoor. We heard from pupils who had helped out their classmates by pitching both sets of tents for their fellow late arrivals - their service and collaboration virtues working well there.

This important event allows us to recognise the commitment, effort and progress shown by all pupils involved in @armytentors training, including those who may not be able to take part in the final event itself because of the limited number of places. It is a reminder that character is built as much in preparation and perseverance as in participation. It is also a memory that many Exonians hold dear - @exeterschool_alumni . Well done everyone. We hope you`re putting your feet up this Sunday 😊

🥚The Lower Sixth Psychology pupils have just completed their much anticipated `eggsperiment`. 🥚

The `eggsperiment` in psychology is a popular, hands-on educational project for pupils to understand developmental, attachment, and developmental psychology. Participants raise a decorated raw egg as a "child" for 1–2 weeks, documenting care to experience the responsibilities, emotional attachment, and challenges of parenting.

We hope the bonds have started well and that no one has forgotten eggs in lockers and we look forward to their presentations after Easter. I wonder if we`ll get any interesting photos of them on days out with their `babies`? 🤔

Back towards the end of November, we posted pictures of our junior school pupils in the paddock gardens with the help of our grounds team, educating them about essential bulb planting skills.

Those same pupils came back last week to help Mr Lee cut and prepare bouquets carefully tagged and then went to teachers who had been instrumental in helping with some big events in their lives recently to share some smiles and say thank you.

Perfect feeling for a Good Friday post 😁 ...

House relays involving pupils from each year group in the senior school took place on Tuesday lunchtime. Great fun, lots of tired legs and a win for Dowrich House 👏🏻🏆

👏Congratulations and thank you to our hard working senior prefect teams 👏

Today, Sophia, Emma, Max, Delilah and Tyler step down to concentrate on their A Level exams and next steps. We rewarded them with Kit Kats 🍫 we had stashed away for some reason 🧐 Suffice to say, we hope they are going to be taking a bit of a break over the next couple of weeks. Thank you, truly, for all your hard work.

Welcome on board to Poppy, Connie, Sebastian, Hugo and Marcus - you already make such a great team and we can`t wait to see you all taking on this leadership role, embodying the virtues that make Exeter School the fun, fabulous and successful school it is.
