Hello everyone.
Well done to Ocean Class who completed their Year 6 SATs this week. Every Year 6 pupil nationally is involved in the tests and it can be incredibly stressful. However, every one of our Year 6 pupils remained focused and tried their best. As a result of their excellent attitude to learning – they were presented with an Oscar.
Thank you to all the staff who made sure that the children were calm and prepared. A special mention to Mrs Paterson and Mr Strugnell for organising the daily SATs breakfast. Once again, Mr Strugnell’s Scrambled Eggs went down a treat with children and staff.
FACTOID OF THE WEEK
The oldest living land animal on earth is a 192-year-old tortoise named Jonathan
CAPTURED
Here are some learning moments from this week captured by Mrs Noble and Mrs Paterson:
FUNKY FRIDAY
Thank you to the many parents and grandparents who attended our Funky Friday assembly yesterday. It is always lovely to see so many smiley faces. Thank you for your continued support.
OSCAR
Congratulations to Iris (Year 5).
Iris shines – not only because of a sharp and curious intellect, but also because of a heart full of kindness. Always ready to lend a hand or share a laugh, she makes others feel seen and supported. It’s the beautiful combination of compassion, cleverness, generosity, and joy that makes Iris truly extraordinary. She is simply the greatest role model one could ask for, and often spots Mr Strudwick’s intentional errors. He says “It is an absolute pleasure to have worked with Iris and I know she is going to have a bright and brilliant future!”
It was a ‘triple whammy’ for Iris who also received a Gold Award and was part of the Happy Birthday Band. This is the first time ever that someone has experienced a triple whammy. Well done, Iris

SWIMMING SUCCESS
On Saturday 10th May, Lily, Ella, Ollie and Theo went to The Spectrum Centre in Guilford to represent Shoreham Beach Primary in the final 16 small schools in South East of England (which they recently qualified for through the County Gala).
They gave it everything they had and have now been rank 7th fastest in Freestyle Relay and 9th fastest in Mixed Relay out of all small schools in the South East of England!
Such a brilliant achievement for any school, but we were also the only state school, who had made it to that stage of the competition. Well done!
