Finally the sun is shining and in school we have made the most of this by using outside spaces to teach some of our lessons. With the arrival of the warmer weather, (hopefully) can I please remind you to send your children in with a bottle of water, sun hat and with sunscreen on. Thanks to the PTA fundraising and donations from the governing body we will be having additional sunshades fitted over the half term

break. This will give us much needed shade on the main playground.

We often highlight children’s achievements out of school but this week I wanted to celebrate two of our members of staff. Miss L. Thomas (Year 4 teacher) and Mrs G. Wright (Year 3 teacher) have both completed marathons in the last month. Miss Thomas ran the Brighton marathon and Mrs Wright the London Marathon (See picture). Mrs Wright was raising funds for Histio Uk. Well done to

both, an amazing achievement.

The school ducks continue to be a focus of much attention at the beginning and end of the school day. Many children have applied to be ‘Duck Keepers’. We are working through the application letters and will notify you of who they will be later in the term. A big thank you to Mr Osborn who has built a beau-tiful new duck house to keep the ducks safe at night. They love their new home. The Governors and PTA

have very kindly funded these projects.

THANK YOU

A very big thank you to Over The Moon party shop in Pevensey Bay

for their kind donations and

discount on items for our ‘Queen’s

90th Birthday’ celebration.

helping to brighten up our lovely new Pier.

Business Ambassadors—Working Ways

Two of our year 5 pupils have been taking part in Education Futures Trust project ‘Working Ways’. During the year the children have had the opportunity to learn about businesses across the town. They have visited retail outlets, tourism and leisure based businesses, catering and also the public sector including police, fire bridge and other schools. The year long project ended with a visit to Ashburnham Place where the children had a tour and an opportunity to present what they had

learnt during the project. Please see below.

Business Ambassadors from

schools across the town.

Well done Keira and Liam.

They created a presentation on working in the leisure industry and for the police and presented this in front of over 30 people.

This is something they would not have been

able to do at the beginning of the project.

Outstanding work!

Arshaya in Y2 has worked very hard on her 3d task as part of her learning topic on the seaside.

What a fantastic lifeboat replica! The detail is amazing and she is very proud of what she has

achieved, as are we!

A big well done to mum too!!

Well done to Charlie who was awarded a Headteacher Award for his

amazing piece of writing!

The children in the class had to look at a picture to gain inspirational ideas

before starting their free write.

Written above:

The dragon is descending to the air. It is amazing and exhilarating. The castle is bright and colourful. I like the distance of the bright and colourful mountains. Suddenly a proud king rushed outside. The dragon is breathing out

fire. The king gazed and fell over.

Here is the picture (right) of the

image Charlie wrote about.

Achievements outside of school

Hello I am Nikkia, I was awarded these badges at Brownies which I attend on a

Wednesday after school.

I got the number fun badge for maths

tests that I completed at Brownies.

I then got the Hostess badge because of a tea party that we held on Mothers

Day. We all served our parents tea and

cake.

I got the teddy bear badge because we had a teddy bears picnic and had lots of fun on the trampolines, we even took our teddy bears on them! We took part in a challenge, jumping on the trampolines for 30 minutes, and a

machine recorded the amount of jumps

we did.

Finally I was awarded a sixer badge which is for the amount of time that I

have been at Brownies.

I love it at Brownies and I will be joining

guides later in the year when I turn 10.

Vladimir in Y1 has been awarded this

rosette for winning 5 out of the 6 chess

competitions he played for his age range

(5-8) over the Bank Holiday Weekend.

He tells us that he will be going on to enter

more competitions in the near future.

Well done Vladimir.

Our Honarary Headteachers were given the task of presenting the assembly last Friday. Matus gave out the Golden Stickers and Cups. Pharrell awarded the

chocolates for the attendance challenge. Jean talked about ‘Inspiring a Generation’ and Shannon took the prayer.
