Overview

Our popular Break Out Days are a fantastic opportunity for the children to learn new skills and take part in other activities in and outside of school; these can include nature walks, cooking, crafts, sport competitions and much more! They are an important part of our curriculum and help to enrich learning further.

‘Donate A Morning’ Break Out

We had a brilliant morning with experts from various local groups and charities being welcomed into the school.

The idea of this morning was for the children and adults in our school to donate time to our local community.

Thank you to everyone involved, to families who donated items, volunteers who helped, staff who were so enthusiastic, but most importantly, to our amazing children who worked incredibly hard during Donate a Morning for the greater good.

We have spoken to the children about being ‘agents of change for the community’ and they certainly lived up to it, making us all very proud.

I hope you and your child felt that the time spent on building their personal development was worthwhile for them as citizens. We certainly did.

‘Life Skills’ Break Out

What an exciting morning it was!

It was brilliant to have so many local organisations help support our Life Skills morning. These included Cats Protection, Natwest and Little Life Savers to name but a few. The activities organised were designed to equip our children with skills that they will need later in life. These included:

  • CPR training
  • Money management
  • DIY – building bird boxes
  • Animal care
  • Cooking

Some of our KS2 went to Chailey Secondary school to take part in money management and modern foreign languages lessons.
