Rise and Shine Reading
Across the school, we welcomed our parents in to share a story with their children. It was wonderful to see so many parents coming into our classrooms, sharing the love of reading.

Pupils from Year 6 had a fantastic time during their yearly trip to Windmill Hill. Throughout the week, we tackled abseiling, zip-lines, archery and the trapeze. All children had a super time and we are looking forward to next year already!
Y3 had a wonderful day at Highdown Gardens yesterday. They managed to dodge the rain showers and spend time developing their awe and wonder at the nature around them. Thank you to 'Southdowns for All' for supporting with finance of the coach.
Year 5 travelled through the galaxy when the Planetarium visited this month. They enjoyed learning about the stars, planets and moons. They were able to spot constellations linked to their work on the Ancient Greeks.
Year 2 had amazing fun re-enacting the events of the Great Fire of London last week. The theatre company were so impressed with their knowledge and the children enjoyed taking on roles with the actors.
Year 3 had a wonderful visit to Highdown Gradens, a hidden gem in Sussex. They learned about chalk based land and the unique plants that grow there, drew some plants and walked to the top of Highdown Hill. From the top we could see the sea and the Isle of Wight to our right, then the white cliffs of Birling Gap to our left. Upon the hill were significant areas of the past with fascinating stories of the past including John Oliver, a miller but also a smuggler!
