This week some Year 4 children took part in a dodgeball festival with lots of other schools. They played really well as a team and made some great catches and dodges! Grayson was 'player of the match' for his superb throwing and great sportsmanship.
Year 4 have started their new science unit all about plants. They created their own seed types from paper using a paperclip to show a seed. They investigated which ones would survive and which would travel the furthest. We decided the 'glider seed' would travel the furthest!
Year 5 had a wonderful visit to South Downs Planetarium where they explored space. We watched the dome turn into the night sky, toured the International Space Station and visited the planets of our solar system. We learnt so much about our universe.
As part of Year 4's 'Stunning Start' into their 'Rainforest Rescue' topic, they read the book 'Actual Size' and created 5 different rainforest animals for the classroom! We used a variety of media and techniques to do this.
We concluded the term with a wonderful Christmas celebration at St Mary’s Church, and what an unforgettable occasion it was! Year 6 shone brilliantly as they led us through the story of Jesus’ birth with confidence, clarity, and reverence. Their leadership and hard work made the service truly special.
The whole school joined together in singing carols that filled the church with joy and reminded us all of the true meaning of Christmas. It was a heartwarming moment of unity and celebration.
A huge well done to Year 6 for their outstanding effort and maturity—you made us all proud!
We would like to wish every member of our school community a very happy and peaceful Christmas.
We had a fantastic time celebrating Christmas Jumper Day and are thrilled to announce that we raised £270.00 for the Dame Vera Lynn Children's Charity. This wonderful charity supports children with cerebral palsy, chromosome abnormalities (such as Downs Syndrome) and rare genetic disorders (including Angelman Syndrome and Rett Syndrome). Thank you to everyone who took part and donated – your generosity will make a real difference!
A huge thank you to all of our families who have donated towards our Reverse Advent toiletries appeal for Worthing Foodbank - look at the huge amount of donations! Richard and Wendy Marshall, who co-ordinate the Body Basics project at the Foodbank, were blown away by your generosity. Thank you so much.
Year 5 had a fantastic time creating canopic jars as part of their Ancient Egypt topic. These jars were traditionally used to store organs for the afterlife. The children began by shaping their jars with mod-roc, then painted them in authentic colours, and finally added intricate details using pen.
After learning all about the Anglo Saxons, Year 4 made their own Saxon cakes. They learnt how to use the hob safely to do this. We all thought they tasted delicious!

Arthur accomplished something amazing last weekend. He completed the Mental Elf 5k run on Worthing seafront on Sunday. He has raised over £300 for Mind Mental Health charity and was awarded a tshirt. He worked so so hard and only walked for a few minutes...he ran so far. He completed the race with Mum and his Nanny. Well done Arthur
Year 4 had a great time making their own Viking log ships. They designed their own shields, sails and dragon heads/ tails to go onto these. They then tested them in water and made any fixes they needed to, to ensure it didn't sink!
