As the frost of winter begins to give way to the warmth of spring, a palpable sense of renewal and wonder envelops our beautiful school. Our grounds have become a playground for a plethora of extracurricular activities with the arrival of more outdoor learning opportunities.
Our children have participated in and been successful in many extracurricular events and competitions. This includes Musical Theatre workshops, the Townsend Warner History Competition, Chess tournaments, and the Galactic Challenge. We too have marked many important occasions as a community: Children’s Mental Health Week, Chinese New Year, International Women’s Day, and Internet Safety Week, to mention a few.
We happily welcomed the award-winning writer of children’s books, Vashti Hardy, in February. She led an outstanding presentation for the children, and her experience as a teacher was clear, as she caught the children’s attention immediately and took them on a creative tour, where they learned that imagination is their superpower.
World Book Day was another joyful occasion when everyone dressed up as their favourite book characters and the children had a vast array of activities to enjoy. The ‘Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover’ initiative was very well received again, with the children trying to guess what book they had been gifted and was beneath its wrapping, just from the ‘blurb’ description.
Strictly Come Historic Dancing, our annual fun event combining history with dance, took place just before Easter. During the day, pupils from Years 5-8 learned a dance connected with the period that they were studying in history. The Prep school came together for a big assembly where we had three glamorous judges who oversaw the dances and announced Year 7 as the winner. There was a lot of laughter, learning, and fun!
Our magnificent LPWA treated all year groups this term with a fun ice-skating session in Worthing. The LPWA generously contributes their time and energy to support us, and we are incredibly grateful.
