Hangleton News!
We can not believe that we are nearly at the end of another school year. What a jam packed year it has been! The changes we have navigated in our transition to being part of an Academy Trust has demanded hard work and commitment from the whole school– already we are seeing the benefits that this collaboration has offered. It has been great to see many classes getting outside in the sunshine this term and making the most of both the school grounds and our local countryside! Amy McCardie
Boys’ Football News
Great news! Hangleton Boys’ Football team beat St. Christopher’s Prep School,(Brighton College’s primary school,) on penalties in the semi-final of the Baker Cup, after the match finished 3-3. It was a brilliant performance, going from 2-0 down to leading 3-2. The Baker Cup is the big city-wide Cup, so to reach the final is a big achievement. Mr Edwards
RSHE
This Half Term we will be teaching RSHE (Relationships, Sex and Health Education) across the school. We use our PSHE scheme called JIGSAW to deliver these lessons which are age appropriate. We feel this subject is vital to keep children safe, now and in the future and we are always so impressed with the maturity and genuine curiosity the children show in these lessons. Mrs Crawford
Year Three Trip to River
This week Year 3 visited the River Ouse at Lewes, as part of our Geography learning on Rivers. We were very impressed with their knowledge and curiosity about rivers, as were the education leaders at the centre. As part of our extended learning, we experimented and recorded results about the speed and flow of the river and looked at aerial diagrams of the river's journey from source to mouth. We observed river habitats, discussed food chains and generally enjoyed being outside in the fresh air. The children were well behaved and we felt very proud of them all at the end of the day. Mrs Faulkner
Year One Trip to the Downs
Year 1 have enjoyed their exciting trip to The South Downs! They walked all the way to the entrance, went across the noisy bridge, along the footpath and past the golf course! We stopped near a bench so that we could take in the wonderful landscape. The children could identify local features and landmarks, such as the beach, wind turbines, Shoreham Power Station and Foredown Tower! They all followed instructions and were brilliant ambassadors for our school! Ms Rudwick
Year Four Racket Festival
A group of Year 4 children had a great afternoon at a Racket Festival at the Withdean Sports Complex last week, where they got to play squash, tennis and table tennis. They really enjoyed themselves, and were a credit to the school with their enthusiasm and respectful behaviour. Mr Edwards
