    Our second group of Heartwood Voyagers have had a fantastic first day, throwing themselves into every adventure with enthusiasm, curiosity and plenty of laughter. From exploring the woods and taking on new challenges to spending time together outdoors, it’s been a day full of firsts, new friendships and memorable moments.

    This evening the children enjoyed a twilight woodland walk, where they were delighted to spot rabbits, birds and a deer basking in the fading light. Now they’re gathered around the campfire, happily munching on popcorn, getting ready for a sing-song and soaking up the magic of their first Lodge Hill evening together.

    A truly special start to what promises to be an unforgettable adventure. 💚

    A new chapter of our Heartwood adventure begins! 🌲✨

    Today we said goodbye to our first group of voyagers as they headed home with tired legs, happy hearts and lots of wonderful memories.

    While one group of voyagers headed home with wonderful memories, we were busy welcoming our next group of Heartwood Voyagers. They’ve settled in brilliantly, created their own Heartwood Voyager T-shirts, designed some fantastic medallions and, judging by the speed they disappeared, enjoyed rather a lot of chocolate cake! 🍰😄

    With full tummies and plenty of excitement, they’re now heading off for their first afternoon activity. We can’t wait to see the adventures, friendships and memories that the next few days will bring.

    Here’s to the next chapter of the Heartwood Festival! 💚

    Day two… and somehow the smiles are even bigger! 🌞🌳

    Another brilliant day at Lodge Hill is coming to an end and the children have been busy from start to finish. They’ve climbed, built, created, explored and encouraged one another every step of the way. It’s been wonderful watching them grow in confidence as they take on each new challenge.

    We’ve been treated to glorious sunshine, plenty of delicious food and one unexpected visitor after another as butterflies have fluttered around us all day, making an already beautiful setting feel even more magical.

    This evening everyone is relaxing around the campfire, toasting s’mores and sipping hot chocolate. There is a lovely sense of contentment as another fantastic day draws to a close.

    It’s been one of those days that reminds you how much children thrive when they’re given the chance to explore, work together and simply enjoy being outdoors. We can’t believe that tomorrow our first group of voyagers are returning to Worthing.

    Sometimes it’s only when children step outside their everyday world that they discover just how capable they really are. ❤️🌳

    🧪 Science in year 5! 🥼

    This term, our year 5 scientists have been learning about materials and their properties through hands-on, collaborative investigations. The children explored how to separate mixtures using sieving, filtering, and evaporation. They also investigated the quickest ways to dissolve a solute into a solvent to create a solution.

    We are so proud of their curiosity and fantastic scientific vocabulary!

    What a first day! 🌿✨

    Our Heartwood Voyagers have had the most wonderful start to their stay at Lodge Hill. From tackling the low ropes and building dens to working together, encouraging one another and embracing every new challenge, the children have thrown themselves into every activity with enthusiasm and huge smiles.

    This evening has been the perfect end to a fantastic first day. Sitting together around the campfire, singing songs, enjoying popcorn and hot chocolate and sharing lots of laughter has created memories they’ll remember for a long time.

    The children have been brilliant ambassadors for our school. Their kindness, resilience and willingness to have a go have made us incredibly proud.

    Now it’s time for a well-earned night’s sleep before another day of adventure begins tomorrow. 🌲🔥💚

    🦋What a wonderful end to the week for Year 3! The children released their butterflies after watching them grow in their classrooms over the last few weeks. They learnt all about their fascinating life cycle, including the chrysalis stage and even had the amazing opportunity to watch one emerge from its chrysalis under the visualiser before setting them free!🦋

    This week, Year 3 learned why Sikhs meditate as part of their religion. We discovered that meditation helps Sikhs focus on God and deepen their prayers. We also discussed how meditation can benefit everyone by helping us feel calm, improve our concentration and reduce distractions. The children enjoyed trying a variety of meditation techniques and reflected on how these made them feel. 🧘‍♂️✨
