Grade 5's Sample Life at Westminster
Grade 5s recently got a taste of life as a Westminster student.
The group from Kensington and Hampstead spent a morning following a Middle Years Programme timetable at the Portland Place campus. The students took part in lessons and got to know the people and facilities.
Tomer, who took part in Science, PSE, Humanities and Spanish classes, said: “It is a much bigger school. I like the lunch area and the way all the grades seem to mix together outside of lessons. With so many more people there is a great chance to make a lot more friends. It was a really exciting and inspiring day.”
Antonin, who tried Maths, Science, Humanities and PSE, added: “I am really looking forward to going there. I like the idea of having my own locker. The different staircases and numbers for classrooms is confusing, but we’ll soon get used to it.”
Grade 5s also recently took part in a joint drama workshop at Hampstead. Run by the ISTA International Schools Theatre Association, the session encouraged children to develop their skills in working together. At first, they found it challenging, but by the end of the day they were swapping email addresses with one another!
These activities are part of a programme of transition events, making the move from Primary to Middle School a smoother and less daunting for both students and parents.
