YEAR 3/4 FOOTBALL
A group of Year 3 and 4 children took part in a football tournament at Sir Robert Woodard Academy this week. The children played very well and came 4th.
OSCAR
Congratulations to Herbie (Year 6) on being presented with an Oscar. Herbie has really impressed us all since September. He has worked really hard and is always keen to do his best. Herbie is funny, kind and even when he’s not sure, will still give it a go.
RUGBY SESSIONS
A huge thank you to James Drummond-Davies and Ceri Morgan from Shoreham Rugby Club who this week led a rugby coaching session for our Year 6 children. It was a unique opportunity for the children to experience rugby from two excellent coaches. The children loved it! Thank you Shoreham Rugby Club.
NURSERY TIME

A reminder that it is Anti Bullying Week next week, with the theme "Break the Silence". We will be kicking off the week with Odd Sock Day on Monday 16th to celebrate what makes everyone unique. Your child is welcome to come to school in their odd socks. Many thanks for your support.
