Thank you so much to all of our families for the generous food donations collected for Turning Tides. Moira, from the charity, collected the donations today and was so grateful for all of the food. Here are some photos of the amazing breakfast items donated. Thank you!
Year 2 had a fantastic trip to Arundel Castle last week! We were able to identify many different parts of the castle following our learning, including the motte, the keep, arrow loops, battlements, portcullis, gatehouse and barbican to name a few. We dressed up as knights as part of a workshop and explored the dungeon...! What a great day out!
Last week, Year 3 enjoyed their trip to Marwell Zoo as part of their Autumn topic Jambo Rafiki. They spotted lots of animals that live in Africa and thought about how they were suited to their habitats there. These included the majestic White Rhino! The children were also surprised to discover that penguins live in Africa!
Year 5 enjoyed a fantastic day at Gaveston Hall where they took part in orienteering, shelter building and a river walk. They learnt about the geographical vocabulary associated with rivers first hand. Nobody managed to keep their feet dry (adults or children) as we walked through the river. The children also worked well in a team to build some impressive shelters as well as knowing how to use a map to complete an orienteering course.

Year 4 have been learning about symmetry in maths so they created their own symmetrical mosaics. They are all excited to see some mosaics when they go to Fishbourne Roman Palace!
Well done Scarlett for completing a sponsored silence to raise money for Save the Children. Scarlett did such a great job of keeping her sponsored silence even during her rugby session. Scarlett had 3 tokens to use throughout the day if she couldn't communicate what she needed through written form, yet she only used two and ended the evening with 1 token left.
Her grand total raised was £450. Well done Scarlett

BBC Radio Sussex Visits Year 4 for Exciting ‘Small Talk’ Feature
We were thrilled to welcome BBC Radio Sussex to our school, where a group of enthusiastic Year 4 pupils took part in recording for the popular radio segment Small Talk. During the session, the children showcased their creativity and imagination by describing people, places, and objects—challenging listeners to guess what they were talking about!
Tune in to the BBC Radio Sussex Breakfast Show starting Monday to hear their delightful contributions featured over the coming weeks. It’s a fantastic opportunity to celebrate our pupils’ voices and share their charm with a wider audience.
Year 6 have enjoyed putting on their production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat this week. They have been brilliant!
Thank you for supporting the Year 5 Enterprise sale on Wednesday. As part of our topic, 'Let's Make a Difference,' the children have enjoyed designing and making products, all of which had to include a recycled element. There was a great sense of excitement at the sale and they managed to raise a massive £204.35 to be shared between two charities, 'Friends of Mombasa' and 'Amplifying Voices'.
