Newsletter Week 1

Our first week back has been an action packed one. The Christmas Quiz was one of the first activities on the agenda. There were some excellent scores, with at least 6 children getting 99 out of 100 – the last point being lost on the question ‘Which animal’s milk makes mozzarella?’ They all wrote ‘buffalo’ instead of ‘water buffalo’!

We kicked off the sporting calendar very quickly with 5 matches being played on Saturday. Three rugby and 2 netball, all against Ashdown House. Both the 1st XV rugby and the 1st VII netball won their matches convincingly – huge congratulations to the rugby players, as it was the first time they have beaten Ashdown 1st XV on Ashdown turf for a number of years. The other teams played some brilliant matches and with only one practice before the matches, they did incredibly well.

We have also had a number of birthdays to celebrate this week. Our new gapper, Harriet, celebrated her 18th birthday on Thursday and Abigail turned 11 on Saturday  - leading to a lot of chocolate cake being eaten!

We have a busy week ahead with a chess tournament on Monday, rugby and netball matches on Wednesday and Saturday and a table tennis match on Thursday against Brambletye. We also have our first Sunday Activity of the term – ‘Mystery on Ice’ at the Brighton Centre. If you haven’t managed to return your Sunday Activity form please do so as soon as possible as the places are going fast!
