Year 3 Matilda Trip!!

What an exciting adventure our Year 3 children had on their recent trip to London! The children had an amazing time visiting the iconic British Museum before heading off to see the spectacular West End show, Matilda. Not only did they soak in the magic of the theatre, but they also represented our school with such enthusiasm and impeccable behaviour throughout the day. We hope you enjoy hearing all about their fun-filled day.

Author visit from Mel Taylor-Bassent!

Today we had an exciting and inspirational visit from best-selling children’s author, Mel Taylor-Bessent. During this high-energy assembly, we learned all about what inspired Mel to write, how she does it and that all you actually need is your imagination!!! Eli from Year 6 and Mr Mathew were put on the spot to perform a rap-battle from the book, which they absolutely nailed. Mr Mathew was good but Eli wiped the floor with him! Mel was incredibly complementary about our pupils, saying they were one of the best audience she has ever performed to. We know they are fantastic but it’s wonderful when people outside the school recognise it to. Well done, everyone!!

It was wonderful to see all 200 smiling faces up on stage at Worthing Pavilion Theatre demonstrating months of hard work and learning. The children should be so proud of each and every performance as well as creating memories that will last a lifetime for all who watched them.’
