• Class 4 Residential

  Fri 28 Mar 2014
  Class 4 had a lovely time at Minstead Study Centre earlier this week. They made lanterns, lit fires, kept ‘grombles’ alive, fed sheep and made felt from the wool, walked in the New Forest, listened to stories and sang songs round the campfire and ate lots of food! They learnt a lot about looking after the world they live in and about teamwork. Even the weather was on our side. Below is a recount of two of the activities written by Gabriella and Ed.
  
  Ditch of Doom
  As we struggled through the mucky ditch people were slipping and sliding. The ditch was not a normal ditch, it went up past our head. The size of it varied, it was big but then there was a bit where we all had to turn sideways to fit. At one moment Isabel said ‘what if I fell’ and at that second she slipped onto the cold uneven ground. We finished walking but still had to walk through a very deep puddle (that’s why we brought our wellies).

  A Home for Gromble
  At Minstead we had a very important job! We had to make a home for Gromble.  A Gromble is a creature that only children can see.  We made homes out of everything we found in the field.  The aim was to keep the Gromble alive by keeping it warm.  Our Gromble survived because it was kept warm. We used wood, dirt, hay, sticks and leaves.

• Football Tournament

  The school football team played in 2 matches against Crawley Down A and B teams on Wednesday.  Unfortunately the team lost 1-0 and 2-0 but will now be training hard towards their next games.
  Team: Ben Foreman, Kyal Joyce, Ashley Head, James Rogers, Oliver Armfield, Lewis Georgiou, Morgan Mitchell, Caleb Neale and Jamie Smith.
  Thanks to Miss Tomlin for accompanying the children and to those parents who were able to watch and support the team and for their help with transport.

• World Book Day

  Thu 06 Mar 2014
  We had a very colourful day in school yesterday with the vast majority of children dressing up as a well-known book character. Costumes were judged in assembly with a winner announced from each class. This then resulted in an overall winner from infants and one from    juniors. Congratulations to the following children:
  Imogen Rann (Class R), Daisy Matthews (Class 1), Alexander Wadham-Smith (Class 2), Daniel Maddox (Class 3), Rohan Salazar-Gray (Class 4), Laurence McLaughlin (Class 5) and Elli Field (Class 6).
  Overall winners were Daisy Matthews for infants (dressed as Handa from Handa’s Surprise) and Daniel Maddox (dressed as Gangsta Granny).
  Thank you to all children who took part and to all parents who supported them. Our voluntary collection raised £72 for the World Book Day charity.
