Please don’t forget to sponsor our amazing Year 6 students who have volunteered to walk from Eastbourne pier to Hastings pier (15 miles) to help raise money for Mr. Saunders and I to travel to Sierra Leone in February! We welcome families to support us by greeting us at the end of the walk at Hastings pier between 12.00 and 1.00pm Saturday 18th January.
Thanks for your continued support.

Year 6 have been busy making reindeer jars and filling them with goodies, ready for their enterprise stall at the Christmas Fair on Monday. We all think they look great!
Today the Year 6’s made Empanadas and Guacamole in Funky Foods.
They enjoyed the variety of skills needed to make these vegetable filled pastries. And although only 50% liked the guacamole, they all enjoyed eating the nachos 🙂
