On Tuesday morning (4th October) we welcomed the Year 5 girls from Broughton Manor and Milton Keynes Preparatory Schools (the boys went to Bedford School) for a morning of fun activities and a glimpse of life at Bedford Girls’ School. The morning began with a hot chocolate and a warming of vocal chords, as the students learnt one of the well-known songs from the Lion King, The Lion Sleeps Tonight. The students were put into smaller groups, each learning different elements of the song as well as instruments, bringing it all together in unison, under the enthusiastic supervision of Mrs Parsons.  At morning break, our visitors were joined by some of the BGS Year 5 students who talked about school life here. Additionally, we were also joined by some current BGS students, who had previously attended the Milton Keynes schools and were able to catch up with some of their former teachers.

After break, our guests were treated to a sporting extravaganza of netball and lacrosse, led by Miss Huckle (Head of Netball) and Mrs Greenwood (Lacrosse Coach).
