Year 4 had a great day at Fishbourne Roman Palace. We were able to see the breath-taking remains of Roman mosaics whilst exploring the exciting museum.  In our workshops, we were able to practice weaving wool, create mosaics from real tile remains, write our names using the Roman alphabet and even role-play life as a Roman kitchen servant! We also watched a short film to find out more about Roman life in the past, the history of the palace and how the remains were rediscovered under a field. 

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! 

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.

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.
