Geckos love bugs!
Fri 19 Apr 2024Miss Warland brought several of her many-legged friends in to see us this morning. Geckos sat absolutely beautifully and asked some very thoughtful questions while she held ‘Daffodil,’ her pet tarantula. These included “why is she furry?” “Do they spin webs?” (sort of- they use their web more as a ‘carpet’ to cover themselves in a protective blanket!) “Why do they have 8 legs?” and lots more! Everyone then had the chance to examine the moult- a shedded skin- from another tarantula up close, and to meet Miss Warland’s beautiful Rainbow Stag Beetle (Kombucha!) and Flower Beetle.

Let’s Get Active
Fri 19 Apr 2024On Tuesday, 10 children from Macaws and Jaguars class attended the 'Lets Get Active' event at Kings Centre hosted by School Games on behalf of Mid Sussex Active. The children took part in a range of exciting sport activities such as Gymnastics, Dance, Taekwondo, Athletics and cricket. They all thoroughly enjoyed the taster sessions and whilst I witnessed some awesome 'ninja' moves during Taekwondo; they rated Gymnastics their favourite "because it had an obstacle course!" Thank you, to those parents who helped provide transport. - Mrs Lavington

Leopards - Ashdown Forest Visit
Fri 19 Apr 2024Leopards Class had an amazing time at the Ashdown Forest Centre on Tuesday, learning all about the Stone Age. We looked at Stone Age artefacts (considering all of the uses for the flesh, skin and bones of the animals that would have been hunted!), practised our stalking/hunting skills (the deer would definitely have heard us coming!), jumped in muddy puddles, learnt about edible plants (the pine needles that we picked were brewed into a tea, which we all had a taste of at lunchtime!), had a snooze on Stone Age beds of heather and built Stone Age shelters - all against the beautiful backdrop of the North Downs. Despite getting rained on a few times, we all had a brilliant day and learnt loads. Thank you to the parents that helped on our trip and the fabulous staff at the Ashdown Forest Centre.

Star Gazing Evening
Thu 28 Mar 2024Last night, Year 5 came back to school at 6.30pm for an exciting session of star gazing. Tom Holloway (from Primary Science Teaching Trust) a star gazing expert, showed us the difference in the size of planets and stars using an animation, which blew our minds! We then went outside to look at the stars and for once the weather was on our side and we had a fantastic time learning about Orion, Sirius (the brightest star in the sky), the North Star and The Plough. We saw several satellites whizzing across the sky too. It was a very interesting evening made all the more special with biscuits, hot chocolate, whipped cream and marshmallows!

Hockey Festival
Thu 28 Mar 2024Some of our children took part in a hockey festival yesterday and they had a great time.
Frank, Shane, Alfie, Poppy, Lily G and Everly from Pandas Class took part in the morning and played a carousel of activities, learnt new strategies and skills and were amazing team members.
In the afternoon Sophie, Louie, Rafferty, Noah M, Ethan and Toby from Jaguars class, took part in a Hockey Competition, playing several matches against other local primary schools.
Despite the wet start they had thanks to the English weather, everyone played extremely well and put in their very best! We won our first game and drew another; however, we had some tough competition and came 5th overall out of 7 schools. The team represented Felbridge School very well, showing excellent team work and sportsmanship.

Toucans Class - Lingfield College
Fri 22 Mar 2024Toucans Class visited Lingfield College on Tuesday to solve an art heist! Van Gogh's starry night painting had been stolen! We used science skills to narrow down the suspect, technology and engineering skills to solve puzzles to gain clues and art skills to recreate the missing painting. We had so much fun and the children represent the school superbly with their excellent behaviour and enthusiasm.
Well done Toucans!

Well done boys!
