๐ผ๐๐ชดThis 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! ๐ผ๐๐ชด

๐จโจ Inspirational artists! โจ๐จ
This week, we've been so thrilled to have two important art visitors to our school to share their creativity. ๐ฉโ๐จ๐จโ๐จ
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.๐ผ๏ธ๐ฒโฐ๏ธ
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! ๐โ๏ธ
The children loved making their comic strip pages and were proud to take these home to share with parents and carers. ๐ฅฐ๐จ๏ธ
We would like to say a huge thank you to our inspirational visitors for their time and enthusiasm!โค๏ธ๐๐

This week, Year 3 took their storytelling beyond the classroom walls! ๐๐
The children visited their neighbour class to share their brilliant Knucker Dragon stories with a partner from another class. Everyone loved hearing each otherโs creative ideas and unique interpretations of the tale. It was wonderful to see the children reading with confidence, listening so thoughtfully, and celebrating each otherโs imagination. A fantastic example of collaboration, creativity and a shared love of storytelling! โจ

Well done to our brilliant Quad Kids team who represented Worthing at the Southern Area finals on Wednesday!๐๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
The team all had to compete in a 600m, 75m sprint, vortex throw and standing long jump. They battled hard against the wind on the 600m, and gave absolutely everything on the sprints. We saw some superb throws as well as some impressive jumping across the afternoon.โ๏ธ๐จ
The team finished off with a 4x 50m shuttle relay, where the changeovers were slick and they all embraced the challenge.๐คโก๏ธ
When the scores were announced, the organiser let us know there were just 3 points between 1st and 2nd place!! ๐ฎ TAB came out victorious with a 1st place finish, meaning they have now qualified to represent the Southern Area at the County final! ๐ฅ๐
Well done all, we are so proud of you! ๐๐

Wow, year 4 have been working hard this week!๐ They created their final pieces in art, by using watercolours to create backgrounds for their birch tree sketches.๐จ They used masking tape to replicate the birch trees, painted sunsets and other sceneries.๐ Then, once they had peeled off the masking tape, they added detail to create birch trees.๐ณ I'm sure you'll agree they all came out looking amazing!!โจ
They have also been continuing to explore sound by making string telephones! โ๏ธ๐งถ It builds on the work they have completed around how sound travels through vibration.๐๐ถ
We can't wait to see what the last week before half-term has in store for year 4.๐๏ธ๐

Our talented Year 3 artists have reached the finish line of their latest landscape art project. Over the past few weeks, weโve been exploring the world through the eyes of David Hockney and Neil Holland, learning how to master the tricky art of perspective.
From sketching "vanishing points" to experimenting with Hockneyโs signature bold colors, the children have shown incredible growth. Check out these stunning final pieces where the children drew out their landscapes in pencil and then painted them with watercolours - we think theyโve truly captured the magic of the outdoors!

โช R.E. Enrichment โ๏ธ
As part of year 5โs R.E. learning on Christianity this half term, we invited local minister and school parent, Matt Walmsley, to speak to the children about his beliefs, his role at Maybridge Community Church and how the church supports both its local and global community.
The children thoroughly enjoyed Mattโs engaging assembly and came prepared with some fantastic questions. We always value opportunities for our pupils to learn about different faith perspectives from members of our local TAB community.
