PE and Sport

PaWS is very competitive when it comes to sport. In PE this term we are doing striking and fielding. We have been doing hockey and gymnastics as well. Mr Peters, our PE teacher will always make sure that everyone knows what they are doing.

Trips

We have been to Drusillas to see the lovely animals like mon-keys, meerkats and lots more animals. We have also been to see the Smugglers Cave to learn about jewels and figures from the 1700s. We go on many more trips.

Learning Knights

At Pevensey and Westham we have four Learning Knights and they are all about helping us build learning powers. They are called Rita Resourceful for using resources around the classroom,

Ralph Reflective for reading back your work and making my improvements,

Rhianna Relationships for showing relationships to people around you,

and last but not least Rodney Resilience for showing resilience and not giving up on your learning.

Oasis and Eden Room

The Oasis and Eden Room is where people who are upset, or need help can go and get help. They help with your problems, and give support, nurture and wellbeing. They help people who need support pastorally, and help them with their behaviour.

There are lots of topics, my favourite was towers, knights and turrets.

Projects

Sometimes, if you are lucky you will make something as part of a project linked with your topic i.e. our topic was Egypt and we got to make a Pharaoh’s Mask.

Fabulous Finishes

At the end of your topic you might do some kind of performance to your parents or another year group or class.
