Stone Cross School

Year 6 have been working hard in their final weeks at Stone Cross. A highlight being performing their production Ali Baba and the Bongo Bandits to packed audiences. They oozed enthusiasm, sang and acted confidently but most importantly had amazing fun! Well done to Year 6 for such a fantastic show and to all of the adults who supported them to put on such a professional performance.

On Monday 7th July, the Year 6 cricket team travelled to Henfield for the county cricket finals. Sixteen of the top teams in Sussex took part and the standard was incredibly high. Stone Cross battled hard winning one of their first-round matches and narrowly losing two. Unfortunately, the team did not qualify for the quarterfinals being six runs short. The boys played two more matches in the consolation draw winning both games convincingly and finishing 9th. A great achievement!

Well done to Alfie, Ralph, Noah, Jasper, Reuben, Seb and Isaac.

The Year 5 football team recently enjoyed a fantastic morning of football at the Chiddingly Festival. A squad of eight boys enjoyed some hard-fought, tight matches where they showed fantastic character and determination. After a very competitive group stage the boys won a nerve-wracking penalty shoot out against Ocklynge to qualify for the semi-finals of the vase. Another penalty shoot-out followed to take them through to the Vase final with a 1.0 win over Stonegate. It was a fantastic effort from the whole team, well done to all involved, especially with all those penalties to contend with!
