Yesterday, our Year 4/5 pupils proudly represented our school in the 4th Ocklynge Cup, an event that is quickly becoming one of the highlights of the Eastbourne Schools Inter-Sport calendar. This competition is not only about winning; it fosters resilience and teamwork among our pupils, which is invaluable for their personal development.

Our team faced a challenging day on the pitch, drawing our first three group games and narrowly losing the last match. Despite us being a tough opponent for others, we finished 5th on goal difference, with two other schools finishing on the same points as us. Unfortunately, due to one school withdrawing on the day from the other group, we were left with only nine teams, meaning we were the only team without a fixture and did not have a chance to compete in the playoffs.

While this was disappointing, the spirit and determination displayed by our pupils were truly commendable. They demonstrated exceptional sportsmanship and teamwork, showcasing why the future of football at PaWS is so bright. We are incredibly proud of their efforts.

📚✨ Happy World Book Day! ✨📚
Today, our students went ALL IN! 🚀
We’ve been celebrating this year's theme—'Go All In: If You're Into It, Read Into It'—and the energy across the school has been absolutely electric!
Here is a quick glimpse at some of the ways that we celebrated the joy of reading today:
• 🦸‍♀️ Rocking incredible costumes of our favourite book characters.
• ⚽ Diving deep into books about our favourite hobbies.
• 💬 Sharing some fantastic new book recommendations with friends.
• 🎤 Dropping beats and rapping along to a funny poem in School Worship!
We are so proud of the enthusiasm and creativity our children brought to school today. Keep reading, keep exploring! 📖🌟

📚✨ What a wonderful start to the week we had! ✨📚
On Monday, 23rd February, we were absolutely thrilled to welcome the author Banji Alexander to our school for a very special visit!

Banji completely captivated the children, presenting and reading extracts from his brilliant book, Lockdown Looms: Reggie's Birthday Party. He even treated everyone to an exclusive reading of a brand-new poem from his upcoming poetry book! 📖🎤

The energy in the room was incredible—especially when the children got to show off their fancy hats and sing along with Banji to his song, New King! 👑🎶

Our curious students had so many brilliant questions for him during the Q&A. Banji shared wonderful stories about his life, his journey to becoming an author, and even what it was really like to appear on Britain's Got Talent! 🌟

The afternoon finished up with a hugely popular book signing. A massive thank you to Banji for being such a joy and for inspiring our next generation of readers and writers! ✍️❤️
