Stone Cross School

We are incredibly proud of all of our children over this festive period: they have all embodied our motto of 'Excellence through Effort, Enthusiasm and Enjoyment' in all of their nativies, assemblies, plays and carol concerts. Whether it be through singing, acting or speaking they have all shone! A big thank you to families who have supported with helping their children to learn lines, song words, with costumes or just by coming to watch them perform on the day - it has all contributed to fantastic performances.

FOSCS organised a Christmas Jumper design competition with the winning entry being made into a jumper for Mrs Clements to wear on Christmas dinner day. A huge well done goes to Roman in Ospreys for designing the winning jumper and as promised Mrs Clements wore it for the day! The runners up are also in the gallery below - what an amazing wealth of creativity we have within our school.

Well done to Isabella, Jasmine, Reuben and Pip who represented Stone Cross brilliantly recently at the annual Eastbourne Business Partnership's Pantomime Challenge. They had to use Knex to design and make a vehicle to transport Belle in Beauty and The Beast. All of the children showed great teamwork and creativity - two of our Skills Builder skills - as well having lots of fun and even trying on some hats from the pantomime!

Both of our teams made a super vehicle with Pip and Reuben's coming second overall - congratulations!

Four children took part in a New Age Kurling competition recently against other local schools. They loved developing a new skill and had lots of fun. All of the children showed exemplary behaviour and were great representatives of Stone Cross.

Recently, our Year 6 Ambassadors led a collective worship all about two explorers and environmentalists linking science with history. The children ‘met’ Ernest Shackleton and Ben Fogle! Well done!

Thursday 16th November, 16 children took to the airwaves for the annual Eastbourne Youth Radio broadcast. The show this year, kindly sponsored again by UpCountry, was a quiz with different rounds including: TV and movies, riddles, sport, animals, books and Christmas. There were questions for both adults and children and the KS2 classes at school joined in. The overall winners were Toucans - congratulations!

The children in the studio did an amazing job and were super ambassadors for our school: they spoke clearly with expression and their behaviour throughout was impeccable! Thank you and well done to all involved.
