Learning Maths is as much a life skill as an academic subject and it’s lovely to see how the children work collaboratively to solve maths problems, whether getting to grips with weights and measures, giving change at a ‘real’ shop or mastering the calculation of perimeters!

The LPH Pride & House pancake races ensued, cheered on by spectators at break time! The Pre-Prep had a pancake dash, complete with flip and the Prep had to don apron and oven gloves to navigate their way through a course while keeping the pancakes in their pan. #schoollife #fun

What better way to bring the Humanities to life than by seeing differing viewpoints? From role play in History to debates in REP, our children worked together well to create pros and cons, all the more commendable for sometimes not being what each pupil might support personally!

#WorldBookDay2024 celebrated the joy of reading and making reading fun! #ReadYourWay gave a choice and a chance to let go of pressure and enjoy reading, whether in an army of oompa loompas or snuggling in a cosy book corner! #literacy #reading

For #IWD we celebrated women’s achievements and explored discrimination and equality issues. Pupils learnt about women’s suffrage and designed campaigns to save the lives of Victorian match girls, along with researching iconic female role models. #InspireInclusion

Happy Mother’s Day! Our Pre-Prep mummies had a super time on Friday when their children sang their hearts out to them with songs they had learnt and practised. The children then joined their mummies for a cuddle and shared some delicious cakes! #HappyMothersDay #community

Pupils took part in our annual book swap and couldn’t wait to start their new books! In English the Year 5s have been working hard on playscripts for their summer production and Year 8 donned witches’ hats to bring the opening scene of the ‘Scottish Play’ to life. #reading

What a busy British Science Week! From exploring friction to making crystals in the classroom, and extracting DNA from fruit and dissecting owl pellets in our science lab, our children have thrown themselves into it all with curiosity and enthusiasm! #Science #learning #becurious

Happy Easter! Dave the tortoise has been basking in the sun in his Easter Egg jacket! The children in each year group made Easter cards to show their gratitude to all who contribute so much to our school. Here are some Year 6 cards for our wonderful PTA. #Easter #community

We always know the summer term is well underway when the cricket fixtures start to take place. It's super to have our pitches looking so lush after the field was re-seeded and to welcome parents to the school to watch the matches! #summer #cricket #sport

LPH girls &boys were out in force at the Brighton Children's Parade today. They had 'Feed the World' as their theme and their giant food scales balanced with food looked amazing, as did the t shirts each child had created for the event #community #feedtheworld @brightonfestival

Ducklings Buttercup, Flappy, Liah and Soggy#5 - hatched out just in time for our Open Morning tomorrow! Pupils have been coming to see them, now that they are fluffy and running around. We're sure our visitors tomorrow will enjoy meeting them too! #ducklings🐣 #learning #nature

We are so proud of both teams who competed in the U11 Sussex Tennis competition hosted by Bede's. Our A team were undefeated and won the tournament after a hard-fought final against the hosts. Our B team did well too, winning 3 out of their 4 matches.@'bedesnews #tennis #sport

Year 4 had an amazing time at the British Wildlife Centre today. This visit supported their ‘Living things in their habitats’ topic in science. The children met a whole host of British wildlife animals, learnt fascinating facts and asked lots of questions! British Wildlife Centre #learning

Another busy week at school included plenty of outdoor learning. Pre-School and Reception were busy building dens. Meanwhile, Year 1 were at the beach as part of their Geography work comparing towns to villages. #outdoorlearning #forestschool #learning #geography

We welcomed girls and boys from St Christopher's and Shoreham College to our Mowden cup U9 Cricket tournament. The games were played in great spirit and with enthusiasm. Congratulations to all who took part. #sport #cricket #coeducation #equalopportunity

The play 'Myth' was performed by Years 7 & 8, who showed great resilience and perseverance as the weather forced the play to be moved indoors. The cast worked together collaboratively, resulting in super performances in front of appreciative audiences. #drama #teamwork #learning

It's Activities Week and Years 6, 7 & 8 have headed off for Dorset, France & Wales respectively. Year 5 have had a great time at Hove Lagoon while Year 3 have had fun at school, firstly breadmaking and then making slime with Year 4 for their science activity. #adventure #fun

It’s been a super week for children not away on trips. Reception displayed their fabulous dinosaurs and dragons and Years 3 & 4 had a great day out watching cricket. Everyone had fun on the giant inflatables, followed by ice cream! The tents are ready for tonight's camp! #fun

We've been busy preparing for the start of the new school year. We are looking forward to seeing the girls and boys return tomorrow morning after the summer break and to welcoming for the first time those joining us this year. #newschoolyear #welcome #community #learning
