On 20th November, 13 children from Years 5 and 6 took to the air waves of Eastbourne Youth Radio. Since September, they have been working in an after school club to put together the script for the show which was very varied in content and included facts on space, artists and authors; a movie quiz and a finish the line quiz as well as teaching listeners some Polish and Slovakian! The children had an amazing time going into the studio and presenting live on air. They were confident in their speaking and their behaviour was impeccable. We are very proud of them for such a great show. Well done to all of those who took part!

A big thank you once again to UpCountry who sponsored the show. We are very grateful for your support!

Recently, 4 teams from Year 4 and 5 took part in the annual Eastbourne Education Business Partnership's Pantomime Challenge. They were set the task of designing a vehicle out of Knex to rescue Peter Pan and protect him from Captain Hook. The teams showed great teamwork and focus and should be very proud of their entries.

After the judging, James and Jacob were the winners out of the 8 teams competing from two schools. They both won a Knex kit along with family tickets to see the pantomime. Well done and enjoy the show!

Recently, 9 boys and 11 girls from Years 5 and 6 took part in the Eastbourne Schools Indoor Athletics competition at Willingdon Secondary School. Thirteen local schools took part in all over 2 days and all of our children gave it their best. Their resilience, support, effort and enthusiasm throughout was second to none - well done! The competition was tough and we finished 4th overall - a fantastic effort. We did win several races and events in our heat and overall. A special mention goes to Stanley and George who were the quickest in the 2 x 2 lap relay and the 6 lap paarlauf. All in all it was a great team performance.
