On my way to a solid victory last night over at our dairy house @ihsboarding @IpswichHigh . The competition was strong, but I came through with a solid diagonal line of 4.

Great to meet Paddy this morning before his talk. Lovely man and his passion for boarding was infectious. Great ideas and food for thought.

Further to my last post about ‘portraits’, Y8 have been creating portraits in their Art lessons with Mrs Taylor. A couple of familiar faces here…😳 @IpswichHigh

Our talented Art Department has been focusing on 'Portraits' recently. Mrs Looker has beautifully captured the spirit of Joan Kersey, our oldest 'Old Girl', who passed away last year at the remarkable age of 109. Her memory continues to inspire us all. 🎨✨ #IpswichHighSchool #LegacyOfJoanKersey

Last week, we were treated like royalty at lunch where we were served the delicious "La Galette des Rois" (King's Pie). This is a cake associated in many countries with Epiphany, the celebration of the Twelfth Night after Christmas. The tradition in France involves hiding a bean or small figure in some of the slices, and whoever finds the bean gets to be King or Queen for the day. The bean can be swapped for a crown, as demonstrated by some of our winners. Earlier in the week, Prep enjoyed learning about this tradition and made crowns in class.
Thank you as always to our fantastic catering team for making the lunch extra special and for honouring this most noble of French traditions. #galettedesrois #frenchtradition
