The Mayor invited our Year 5 children to hand over the petition which had been signed by 1601 people to Arun District Councillors. the petition is asking for a safe cycle path from Arundel to Ford station. The children made posters and spoke with the Councillors, explaining why they thought it was a good idea.
Last week, over 30 of our KS2 chidlren took part in an inter schools Cross Country event with oher schols in our Locality.
All the children did really well> a special well done to Harry for winning the boys Year 3/4 race and to AJ who came second in the Year 5/6 boys race.
The overall placing:
3rd in Girls Year 3/4 race
2nd in Year 3/4 Boys race

We were invited to take part in the Mayor’s Service this week. Our choir sang alongside Arundel C of E in a joint school’s choir performance. The two schools sounded wonderful. Well done to the Brownies, Cubs, Rainbows and Beavers who took part too and some very confident readers.
Years 1 and 2 raised funds for the NHS last week by hosting a tea party with the theme of Alice in Wonderland. The cakes and refreshments were donated by a parent and the children raised £120 for the NHS.
Our wildflower seeds that were given to us by the Wildflower project have grown. These are now wonderful plants for pollinators to use.
TLA staff came in to school to work with each class to look at rounders skills and triple jump.
We had 5 duck eggs delivered to us in an incubator. They have hatched and are now chirping in the classroom.
Last week we were able to all join together in the cathedral to celebrate the Risen Lord. The whole school, in separate bubbles, enjoyed thanking God for the life of Christ. Each family brought in flowers from home to decorate the cross which was placed on the altar. It was wonderful to be able to join together in worship.
This week each class have depicted a part of the Easter story through music, prayer and drama. These were recorded and played to each class as part of their week of liturgies.
The mayor came to help some of the younger children plant seeds int he school allotment. The seeds were donated by The Wildflower Project. One packet of seeds for every child. The younger children have planted the seeds on the school site but key stage 2 children have taken the seeds home to plant.
The idea is that the wildflowers grow and become food sources for bees who are pollinators.
We will wait to see what grows!
