Adventurous Children

May 17, 2019

A wonderful trip to Tilgate proved what adventurous children we have, with all delving merrily into the bowl of wiggly grubs and throwing themselves wholeheartedly around the park! A tasty picnic menu included ladybird Babybel cheeses, grape caterpillars, butterfly biscuits and raisin ants. The trip was first finished off with a surprise ice cream! Our [...]

Outstanding LAMDA Results

May 17, 2019

Mrs Flower and I were delighted with the LAMDA results that arrived this week for the students who sat their examinations in March, just before Easter. They achieved 100% pass rate and some extremely impressive marks including 100% for Rosie E, Matilda H and Harley B which is both rare and outstanding. We were particularly [...]

Living Eggs

May 7, 2019

The children have made a positive start on their return to school. They listened carefully to one another as they shared their holidays news before writing about their favourite moments. It seems as though the Easter bunny was extremely busy! Through our topic of minibeasts we looked at some features of insects and spiders and [...]

If only the Earth were a few feet in diameter …

May 7, 2019

If the Earth were only a few feet in diameter, floating a few feet above a field somewhere, people would come from everywhere to marvel at it.

Battery recycling is a new initiative and children should [...]

We have packed a lot into the first 4 days with an Easter story assembly; early season cricket; the first block fixture of girls soccer; two wonderfully amusing and well performed Year 6 drama evenings, [...]

Earth Day

April 30, 2019

Earth Day is a day to reflect on our planet and our environment and what we can do to help keep them both healthy. At school today we enjoyed an excellent presentation from Year 7 pupil and beekeeper, Matthew B, who brought in a range of his equipment including his smoker and frames to help [...]

A Visit to Bockett’s Farm

March 25, 2019

This week has been a very busy and exciting week for Reception. After much anticipation we finally went to Bockett’s Farm. There was a really buzz in the air as the children embarked on the minibuses and the excitement definitely grew on the journey with lots of jolly singing and discussions. We met our group [...]

What are you reading this weekend?

March 25, 2019

What are you reading this weekend, and how important is reading to you? If you stop to think about it for a moment, it rapidly becomes clear how difficult our lives would be if we could not read. All of us read all the time, and most of the time, we are not really conscious [...]
