In celebration of children’s successful Junior Duke achievements, we held a wonderful picnic party on Monday 17th of June for Junior Duke award winners and their parents. The pupils aged from five years old in Reception class right up to 11 year old in year 6, thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to play fun games and have a picnic and an ice cream. The Junior Duke programme is a scheme in which pupils complete a journal filled with challenges that are done at home with families or independently. The tasks range from domestic challenges to cookery to learning about countries related to them. Fostering independence is a very important part of school life and we are thoroughly looking forward to next year’s round of Micro Duke, Mini Duke and Junior Duke prizes.
