Tel 01903 812185 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.towers.w-sussex.sch.uk Welcome Welcome to this edition of ‘Towers News’ which covers most events from Christmas half-term 2011 to Christmas half-term 2012. When I first took over the publication in 2003 it was a much smaller affair with fewer photographs but now ‘like Topsy’ it has grown and this, my last ‘Towers News’, is more like the size of my MA thesis except I do hope that it is far more interesting to read! I would like to thank everyone who has contributed articles and photographs with particular thanks to Jason Relf who has used his considerable IT skills to assemble the finished booklet and to Sister Mary Andrew for her invaluable proof-reading ability. Carole Baker MA Headmistress Celebrating the Harvest The theme of the Junior School Harvest festival in 2011 was ‘Colours’. The Nursery children made a beautiful rainbow altar frontal and also presented a very different rendition of ‘somewhere over the rainbow’, whilst modelling club produced some wonderful sunflowers for the chapel windowsills. Harvest colours were celebrated through songs including a few old favourites ‘Cauliflowers fluffy and cabbages green’ and ‘Colours of Day’. The choir and its various sub-sections sang a beautiful and most appropriate harvest hymn entitled ‘Give Thanks’. The remainder of the service contained some lovely elements: poems written by Year 6; an amusing enactment of ‘The Enormous Turnip’ by Reception and Year 1; a percussion piece called ‘Chinese Lanterns’ built on a pentatonic scale composed and performed by Year 4; Joseph and his multi-coloured dream-coat by Year 3; Year 4’s ‘Food Colours’ song which fitted in wonderfully with the theme and a beautifully choreographed angel fish dance presented by Year 2.
