The best way to experience what life is like at Brighton College is to join us at an Open Morning, where you will have the chance to talk to pupils and teachers about what makes our school such a special place.
Setting off with beach mats, buckets and sunhats, our Year 3 pupils headed to Brighton Beach for another Beach School adventure. The pebbles scattered along the beach became our mathematical playground. They spotted triangles, circles, and squares, counting their sides and angles, then carefully placing them together to create pictures. Pebbles were used for art in our pebble painting activity, where seawater was our magic ‘leave no trace’ paint. We created ladybirds, self-portraits, and abstract pebble patterns, then watched them magically evaporate to become a blank canvas. The refreshing sea was perfect for jumping over the waves, splashing our teacher and cooling off from the warm sun. Our favourite beach books were spread out on a picnic blanket, providing moments of quiet reading and calm. Friends were buried up to their giggling faces in piles of pebbles, shells were hunted, and litter was picked. After all this excitement, we ended the day with a guided meditation before heading back to school smelling of salt and with more special Beach School memories.
