June 6^th 2024 marks a very important date in history, the 80^th Anniversary of D-Day.  The 80 Beacons celebrations will be one of the largest events in the UK this summer. You can visit www.d-day80beacons.co.uk for more information.

 

We know pupils benefit from a hot meal at lunchtime and, as an industry, we know they impact so positively on so many lives – this is something to be celebrated.  So, we have added this into our promotional calendar for 2024.  There will be events being held all over the country: The lighting of beacons/Town Crier Proclamations/Parades/Fish and Chip days in restaurants and much more.

 

To support this event, we will simply swap the menu on Friday 7^th with Thursday 6^th so that we can also have Fish and Chip Day but with the additional children’s favourite: Chocolate Brownie.

On Thursday the 23rd of November our school represented in the finals along with St Peters, Harlands, Windmills and Holy trinity. Year 5/6 participated in the competition and did super well as a team and everyone was super supportive.

 

There were separate races for the girls and boys. There were also track events which were separate as well. Starting with the obstacle race we came 5th, for the 1+1 relay we came 1st, for the 2+2 relay we came 5th. Also, with the 6 lap we came 3rd, the over and under relay we were 4th and last but not least with the 4x4 relay we came 5th. However the girls still did amazing as well as the boys and their scores looked like this: First the starting race (obstacle relay) we came 4th, for the 1+1 relay we came 2nd, next we had 2+2 relay and we came 1st! Again on the 6 laps we came 1st! With the over and under relay we came 5th and for the last one 4x4 relay we came 1st. There were also field events which we did really well in but we don't know how we did. Overall everyone did amazing and anyone who participated should be really proud of themselves. It is an amazing achievement just to do it! There were other schools competing on different days as well and overall out of all the mid sussex schools we came 7th!!!! If your child would like to take part next year in the Sports Hall Athletics and will be in year 5/6 next year then they are more then welcome to try out!

 

This is an amazing achievement which (I should think you are very proud of) and of course what matters the most was great fun! Everyone was amazing and tried their best!
