chool reopened for a new<br />
S academic year midweek on<br />
5 September when we greeted<br />
many new faces - twenty-nine<br />
children in our Reception class and two<br />
teachers: Mr Rogers in Year 3 and Miss<br />
Mitchell in Year 5.<br />
The first term has just flown by and we settled into our new routines with the<br />
children enjoying all the fast-paced activities that autumn brings: blustery winds,<br />
conker collecting and harvest celebrations. Our varied topics this term include<br />
Ancient Egyptians, WWII, 1066 Battle of Hastings, Super Human and Blue<br />
Planet plus school trips to Newhaven Fort and Battle Abbey to look forward to.<br />
We were very pleased to be part of the village WW1 commemorations. We<br />
welcomed Kate Darbyshire into all our classes for creative workshops and each<br />
class has produced some amazing artwork for the remembrance exhibitions<br />
including Poppies for the roadside installation, finger paintings, collages and<br />
more. We hope everyone enjoyed the displays and exhibitions over the<br />
remembrance period.<br />
Many of our Key Stage 2 children have been<br />
taking part in swimming lessons, football, and<br />
netball clubs and a few of our quickest runners<br />
from Years 5 & 6 have been selected to<br />
compete in local cross country running<br />
competitions.<br />
As we are now into Term 2, thoughts are<br />
turning to the ever-nearing festive season.<br />
Don’t forget to come to our Christmas Fayre -<br />
see box.<br />
Our Key Stage 1 classes are working on the<br />
annual Nativity play to be performed to<br />
parents and guardians on 4 & 5 December.<br />
Our Reception class children will be putting on their own Christmas tableau<br />
performance at the end of the term. Christmas wouldn’t be complete without a<br />
good carol service and our Years 5 & 6 pupils are tuning their voices for<br />
concerts at Whitegates Retirement Home and Westfield Church in the last few<br />
