🦉 What an unforgettable visit! 🦉

Last week, year 4 welcomed the UK Owl and Raptor Centre into school and had the incredible opportunity to meet some amazing birds of prey. We met three owls, and were lucky enough to have them fly over our heads and in between us!

✨ During the visit, the children had the exciting opportunity to get a closer look at three different species: a Long-Eared Owl, a Barn Owl 🦉, and an Australian Southern Boobook 🌏. The visitors shared fascinating facts about each bird, highlighting their unique characteristics and adaptations. 🕵️‍♂️

🌲 The children learnt about the owls’ natural habitats, discovering where different species live around the world, as well as what they hunt and watch for when searching for food. The session provided a brilliant insight into how these skilled predators survive in the wild, linking perfectly to our current topic! 📚🌳

🌱 An important part of the visit focused on conservation. 🌍 Pupils learnt why the numbers of some owl species are declining, including habitat loss and the use of pesticides. 🚜 They discovered how pesticides can harm the food chain, which helped the children understand the importance of protecting wildlife and caring for natural environments. 📉💚

🌟 The assembly was fascinating and the children were a credit to Year 4. 👏 They asked so many thoughtful questions and showed genuine curiosity, enthusiasm, and respect for these magnificent creatures.

🙏 A huge thank you to the team from the UK Owl and Raptor Centre for bringing learning to life and sharing their passion and expertise with us. It was a truly memorable experience that we will be talking about for a long time! 🎉

This week, Year 3 created beautiful Sussex landscape pictures using the wet felting technique. Working in pairs, they carefully selected colours from their designs and used warm water and soap to bond the wool fibres together. The children used bright, colourful wool to bring their Sussex-inspired landscapes to life and are very proud of their finished creations! 🎨🐑🌳✨

NFL Flag - Manchester, you were amazing! Great Britain National Flag Football Nationals didn't disappoint. So incredibly proud of this squad for fighting all the way to the Quarterfinals. Going out in a sudden-death overtime shootout is tough to swallow, but what an unforgettable experience. History makers! #TABisFAB #NFLUK #nflflaguk

TAB Wheels Up! 🚲

Each year 5 class enjoyed an afternoon of cycling safety skills, where they learned top tips for staying safe while cycling and developed their confidence on their bikes. Many children embraced the challenge, demonstrating great perseverance, determination and enthusiasm throughout the session. It was wonderful to see their skills and confidence grow as they practised safe cycling techniques.

🌼🌈🪴This week, Year 3 have been learning about water transportation in plants. To help us understand how water travels through a plant, we carried out a fun experiment using white carnations and food colouring. We set up three beakers, each containing a different coloured dye and placed a carnation in each one. The children were excited to observe how the coloured water moved up through the stems and into the petals, demonstrating how plants transport water. We can't wait to see the changes over the next few days! 🌼🌈🪴

🎨✨ Inspirational artists! ✨🎨

This week, we've been so thrilled to have two important art visitors to our school to share their creativity. 👩‍🎨👨‍🎨

Michelle Dawson, is a local artist and educator to Worthing who came to visit years 4, 5 and 6 assemblies to share her artistic processes with us all. She explained how she explores, researches and designs her art, just like all our TAB Junior artists, to create her beautiful landscape art.🖼️🌲⛰️

In addition, Brighton University PhD student and comic-strip maker Tom Roberts delivered a comic book workshop to a selection of children from years 5 and 6, supported by our year 6 Art Leaders. Year 3 and 4 after school club children also got a chance to join in the fun with him too! 📚✍️

The children loved making their comic strip pages and were proud to take these home to share with parents and carers. 🥰🗨️

We would like to say a huge thank you to our inspirational visitors for their time and enthusiasm!❤️🎉🙌

This week, Year 3 took their storytelling beyond the classroom walls! 📚🐉
The children visited their neighbour class to share their brilliant Knucker Dragon stories with a partner from another class. Everyone loved hearing each other’s creative ideas and unique interpretations of the tale. It was wonderful to see the children reading with confidence, listening so thoughtfully, and celebrating each other’s imagination. A fantastic example of collaboration, creativity and a shared love of storytelling! ✨
