Year 6 welcomed parents, carers and grandparents to share in a 'VE Day style' celebration to mark the end of our When the Siren Sounds topic. We had a brilliant time sharing the children's work and the 1940's style dances that the children had choreographed.
As part of Year 3's Marvellous Moving Machines topic, they learnt all about the invention of the pasta machine and why it was invented. They then designed their own pasta and used the machine! Everyone had a great time.
On Monday, several Year 5 students participated in a choral day at Christ's Hospital, alongside peers from other primary schools. Under the expert guidance of David Lawrence, the students enjoyed a productive day of learning new songs, culminating in a performance in the afternoon. Click here for a small taster of the event.
Thank you to all the children who have shared their amazing talents and entertained us over the last couple of days in the Spring Concert. It was wonderful to see such an array of musical instruments played, as well as hearing some great singing and watching talented dance routines. Well done to everybody involved. You were all fantastic!
Congratulations Elodie on being awarded The Community Award!
Elodie completed a sponsored swim with her club. They raised over £2000 for a charity providing access to swimming and water safety sessions to children in the local community. She swam 140 lengths totalling 3500m which is more than she ever imagined she could do.
School Council is pleased to announce that, as a school, we have raised an incredible £839 for GuildCare! Thank you to everyone who took part by wearing bright clothes and decorating their money boxes.
School Council were proud to be the judges for the World Book Day competition, helping to choose the winners from so many amazing entries.
World Book Day was a fun and exciting event! Students and teachers celebrated the joy of reading through a variety of activities. It was great to see so many pupils arriving as their favourite book characters. The children particularly enjoyed book buddies, where different year groups read together, allowing everyone to discover new stories. The school council voted for the competition winners. Entries had a range of different media which were used to create favourite book scenes or posters for World Book Day. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and imagination, inspiring a love for books and giving Broadwater C. of E. children another way to explore new worlds through reading.
Here are photographs of the competition winners who have taken home an Amazon book voucher each:
The winning entries are: Joel (Y2) and Elodie (Y5)
The runners up were incredibly talented and their creations will be on display in the library. Well done everybody.
To commemorate the opening of the new care home in our local community, Merriman Grange Care Home, we have recently been working on a 'time capsule' project.
Children decided, in their classes, which objects they wanted to include to represent our school, the local area and childhood in 2025. The final items are pictured here. Thank you to Miss Walker and the School Council for collating these.
On Saturday 1st March 2025, a group of our Ambassadors and School Councillors attended the planting ceremony of the time capsule at Merriman Grange. We were thrilled to be joined by the Mayor of Worthing and the Town Crier for this event. Head Girl, Izabela , and Head Boy, Adam , had the honour of placing the capsule into the ground and burying it safely to be unearthed in 50 years time!
What a memorable community project to be involved in!
