Friday 15 November 2024 Chocolate Tasting Day On CHOCOLATE DAY, Year 4 learned about the history and origin of chocolate among the Mayan people. We learned about how cocoa farmers are guaranteed a fair wage and we designed our own chocolate bars. But the best part of the day was our survey of different chocolate types, flavours, textures and smells. Unfortunately this involved sampling an inordinately large number of chocolate types. Thank-you to all the parents who found such amazing chocolate types !

Thursday 3 October 2024 Carroty Wood 2024 Day 4 The final day dawned and, with it, the prospect of returning home. But first, there was packing to be done, dorms to be tidied and lodges to be left spick and span. Once these jobs were done, there was time to visit the tuck shop and play games together before lunch.

Wednesday 2 October 2024 Carroty Wood 2024 Day 3 As predicted, the children slept well and a number needed to be woken up to make sure they were in time for breakfast! This time, groups had an early start on BMX, High Ropes, Rafting and Abseiling, just as the rest of school were settling into class.
-
Tuesday 1 October 2024 Carroty Wood 2024 Day 2 The day started rather early in Woodland Lodge. Those who woke at 5.30am, full of excitement for the day ahead, had to be reminded that others still needed to sleep, including the adults - breakfast was not scheduled until 7.45am! We anticipate that after a day or two of physical activity and fresh air, the adults will be needing to wake up the children.

Monday 30 September 2024 Carroty Wood 2024 Day 1 The early rain did not dampen the spirits of the Year 6 children as they arrived at school on Monday 30th September, ready for their residential trip to Carroty Wood. Taking charge of their cases and in their 'Class of 25' hoodies, they bid goodbye to their families and went over to Blatchington Mill to board two comfortable coaches ready for the journey.

Thursday 27 June 2024 Royal Pavilion Visit Year 2 had a fantastic day on our visit to Brighton Pavilion and the Volk’s Railway. The day started with a talk from Lady Beatrice Buzzby of Burlington, Berkshire who told us what it was like to live in the time of King George IV. We then had a chance to explore the Pavilion and found out lots of fascinating facts; for example, did you know that the dome in the music room is made of 26,000 gold shell shapes? Once we had recharged our batteries with lunch in the Pavilion gardens, we had a ride on the Volk’s Railway and an opportunity to enjoy the sunshine at Peter Pan Playground. The children had a great day and were a credit to the school.

Monday 17 June 2024 Local Walk Year 1 went on a walk around the local area as part of their Geography work. The children each had a map so that they could follow the route which we had discussed in class. We went down Eridge Road, along Nevill Avenue and up Nevill Road. The children were amazing at spotting the different features on the journey including street names, road signs and buildings. They also used the compass rose to work out which direction they were travelling, using North, South, East, West and words like left/right/near/far. It was a fantastic opportunity to bring all our learning into the real world! Back at school we created our own maps of the local area.
