Another fantastic day at the Chateau! The weather held out and the children were able to participate in orienteering, circus skills, canoeing and bread making. After lunch, we were given a brief talk about cider making, which is produced here at the Chateau and the children were given a small sample to taste. The expression on their faces was priceless! Tonight we are excited to dress up for a French-themed night and eating snails as our appetiser. Tomorrow we are looking forward to visiting our pens pals at a school in Thury Harcourt. A demain. 

After a much-needed sleep, we woke up to sunny skies and were ready to practise our fencing skills. The children learned about the safety equipment and some basic moves before a duel competition. We had a hearty, hot lunch before our afternoon activities which consisted of archery and the infamous obstacle course. They finished the afternoon with a French lesson where they wrote about the days events in French. Another delicious meal awaits this evening, followed by a treasure hunt. A very successful first full day at the Chateau!

Congratulations to six of our Year 6 pupils moving on to Senior School next year with 7 Scholarship successes! They will be heading off with academic or sports scholarships (or in one case both!) to Bromsgrove School, King Edward's, Lord Wandsworth, Prior's Field School and Salesian College.

A beautiful service for the entire school and their families, with carols sung by the Pre-Prep Choir, Training Choir and Senior Choir and a whole school poem. An uplifting end to the term...and heartwarming start to the Christmas holidays!

Rev. Thatcher from St Laurence Church, Seale, visited Barfield today to talk about Harvest Festival with the children and listen to the choirs sing in front of our generous donations.

Mikey the Otter, our entry with Hawthorns garage to the Otter Wey Trail, has made a return to Barfield. Denise Le Gal, Mayor of Waverley and Cothill Trustee has generously donated Mikey back to us following her successful bid at the auction. Welcome home Mikey!
