 The annual swimming gala organised by Cormorants Swimming Club was very exciting right to the end. There were six different schools taking part, and 29 different races.

Year 3 looked at the
story of the "Le Petit Sapin" (the little fir tree) who, when it snows,
doesn't get covered like the bigger trees as he is protected by their
branches. Father Christmas sees that he is unhappy and takes him to his
special garden and covers him in candles and so he becomes the prettiest
Christmas tree. |
 Over a few weeks, the Year 6 children have been doing Rock Climbing Club at the University of Chichester. We think that it is great, but we could not do it without Mr Garbutt and Mr Neaves. Click here to see more photos of us in action!

Stargazing Live events, Year 5 joined in with schools across the country
on Thursday 18th January to watch Professor Brian Cox's Live Schools

questions about science! Find out more at:

Year 5 and 6 boys and girls have both been to the Bognor Arena Sports centre to take part in football tournaments. The boys came second out of 9 schools in a Portsmouth Football Club competition, only losing to the eventual winners. The girls won their group with some very good football. Rachel scored 7 goals in total, Freya got a hat-trick in one game. They lost to the eventual winners in the quarter finals. The back view of the boys' team shows the super new tops we were able to buy courtesy of Sainsbury's Active Kids.

In Literacy in Year 3 this term we have been looking at some of the stories by Julia Donaldson. Using a "Gruffalo Pop-up Theatre" set, we made our own animated version of the story, filmed and narrated by the children. The film was put together in the editing suite and it had its world premiere in Screen One at Cineworld, Chichester, on Wednesday 7th December. There was silence watching it and then a huge round of applause at the end; the children were obviously thrilled with the results. The press were not in attendance at this time!

 Year 5 recently took part in West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service's 'Test It Tuesday' competition. Each pupil designed an A4 poster for homework to promote this campaign and encourage people to test their smoke alarms on a weekly basis.

 On Friday 23rd March 2012, pupils from Jessie Younghusband gathered with pupils from St Anthony's to do 'the sporting mile' on the playing field. They were supported by 'Gully', the mascot from Brighton and Hove Albion FC. As you can see from the photograph, some of the children were dressed in sporting clothes of their choice, but all were wearing smiles as they ran, skipped, walked or were pushed in a wheelchair on the many laps of the field. |
