SLINFOLD CE PRIMARY SCHOOL AND PRE-SCHOOL Caring, Learning, Achieving guided by God H E A D T E A C H E R : Miss Laura Phibbs, BA(Hons), PGCE, NPQH Dear Parents and Carers, Friday 27 th January 2017 We welcomed back this week Brighton and Hove City Mission to perform their Bible in a flash which took the children on a journey of all the books (66 in total!) in the bible. The children thoroughly enjoyed learning about the stories many of which are already familiar to them and also enjoyed taking part. Thank you to the team and we hope to welcome them back soon.
Our Achievement Awards this week go to: Hamble Oliver H and Eira G Medway Chloe V and Betsy B Arun Evan Y and Olivia S Adur Bethany C and Henry C Rother Scarlett B and Tyler M The Quiz Night is back! Back by popular demand is the PTA s infamous Quiz Night to be held in the school hall on Friday 31st March at 7.30pm run by the brilliant duo, Mr and Mrs Hayers. This is a truly fun and sociable event. You can come on your own or make up a table. Many people bring hampers of food and wine to consume and make a real night of it. There are also brilliant prizes on offer for best dressed table and most original quiz table name. In the past we have seen some fabulous table cloths and decorations to make the school lunch tables rather more inviting to sit at. Tickets to be on sale shortly for 5 per person. The question remains: will you make up the team that will beat the teachers? Again? This is truly an event not to be missed. Talented Athletes @The Weald On Wednesday some of us from year 5 and 6: Ryan, Bailey, Thomas W, Monty, Freddie, Oscar, Archie, Sonny, Declan, Finley and Monty Pitts spent the afternoon at the Weald School to take part in the Talented Athletes afternoon. We took part in many sporting activities such as rugby, hockey, football, netball, orienteering and athletics. Most of us chose rugby and football. We played some matches and had fun. We learned a bit about the rules of rugby such as ruck and scrum. We practised rucking and even managed to knock down a teacher! By Bailey and Ryan.
