  Christopher and Fletcher from Jaguars class took part in the Mid Sussex primary schools 2k cross country championships at East Court on Wednesday.

  The boys ran amazing races, running through some extremely muddy conditions competing against 125 other runners.  They now have to wait to hear if they have qualified for the next round.

  Well done Christopher and Fletcher!

   

  

• Football Matches

  Fri 27 Jan 2023

  On a wet and cold Wednesday both boys and girls teams were taking part in the next round of the East Grinstead Primaryship. The boys had a tricky first encounter against a well-drilled West Hoathly team. Going behind early on, it was vital we stuck together to overturn the deficit. Fortunately we did with Gemma latching on to a through ball, out-muscling the opposition defenders to blast home an equaliser. Our second game was against a far larger, stronger Copthorne team. It proved a tricky contest with us amassing a large deficit in the first half. The challenge in the second half was simple… keep the deficit smaller than the first, thankfully we did!

    

  In their first game the girls took on The Meads, with great enthusiasm (and singing). Sadly we lost 1-0. Our second game was far more successful, with us coming away with a 2-0 victory. Goals being scored by Gemma and Isla-Rose, the latter celebrating with a no-handed cartwheel (obviously inspired by Mr Law). Assists coming from Isla-Rose and Paige respectively. It was a very rainy experience but we pushed through and an enjoyable afternoon was had by all! Thank you to all parents for transporting the children.

   

  

• Science Selfies

  Fri 20 Jan 2023

  We’ve had a great batch of photos from our budding home-scientists this week- have a look below! Please keep sending them in- we love seeing what you have been up to as well as the learning and excitement about science which comes from it. Science selfies will be added to our display in school for everyone to enjoy.

   

  

• Basketball Tournament

  Fri 20 Jan 2023

  On Thursday some Year 6 representatives went to Sackville School to take part in a basketball tournament against 7 other local schools. They represented the school brilliantly working in teams, getting more confident with each match. Miss Richardson was so impressed with their attitudes and sportsmanship. Unfortunately, not all the games went our way and the teams came 4^th and 7^th in the tournament!
