Prep school pumpkins
Before the summer holidays the green
fingered nursery class planted pumpkin
seeds and in October the fully grown
pumpkins were picked and turned into

Everyone in the prep school enjoyed a taste
of their home grown soup.

Learning about Lifeboats
On the 15th October, Year 2 went to Newhaven to visit the
Royal National Lifeboat Institution to learn all about this
important charity. The girls thoroughly enjoyed their day
pretending to be lifeboat crew, dressing up in uniforms,
visiting the engine room and learning what to do in an
emergency.

Playtime Fun
In September and October, a new covered outdoor play area was
built for the Early Years, to ensure that playtime never gets rained off!
Further play equipment was also added for other year groups including
HMS Pembury, a story telling chair, outside chimes and a special seating
area for year 6.
World War II Visits
Squadron leader Cyster visited on Wednesday 14th October to tell
girls about the RAF’s role in World War II. He arrived in his uniform
and spoke about the planes and bombs used in the war.
Mr Dray (one of the girls’ grandparents) visited on Friday 9th October
to tell girls about his experience of World War II. He explained how he
was only 11 when the war started, what rationing was like and how he
was chased down the street by an aeroplane. Girls listened to CDs with
the sounds of bombs, aeroplanes and speeches to understand what life
would have been like.
All girls enjoyed listening to both visitors and learnt a great deal.

Roman Ruins
On Monday 16th November year 4 visited Roman Fishbourne Palace
in Chichester, as part of their studies on Roman Britain. The girls had
an amazing day and managed to see the largest collection of Roman
mosaics in the country.
They also walked through formal gardens and took part in Roman
workshops where amongst other things, they looked at Roman artefacts
and experienced exciting activities such as spinning wool, mixing herbs
in a Roman style kitchen and writing on wax tablets.
