The children are thoroughly enjoying their learning journeys, teachers are very pleased with the progress that the children are making, and we are outside more and more. KS2 packed lunches are eating outside and all the classes are now playing on the field. KS1 are making the longest daisy chains possible, playing in the building area and enjoying the freedom of the field. Our Year 5 Play Leaders and Year 2 Little Leaders are doing a great job organising and setting up games and activities for KS1 children at lunchtime. They are thoughtful, kind and encouraging. If your child is a Play Leader, please thank them from me. KS2 are enjoying having two football pitches, the KS2 trim trail, the table tennis tables, the gazebo quiet area, music on a Friday, and a huge area of the field to sit, chat and relax.&nbsp;<br /><br />&#8203;Please<a href="https://kingslea.w-sussex.sch.uk/uploads/6/3/9/0/63907685/newsletter_09052025final.pdf" target="_blank"> click for more details</a><br /></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[March 2025 (2)]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://kingslea.w-sussex.sch.uk/newsletters/march-2025-2]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://kingslea.w-sussex.sch.uk/newsletters/march-2025-2#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Fri, 28 Mar 2025 14:42:29 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Spring 2025]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://kingslea.w-sussex.sch.uk/newsletters/march-2025-2</guid><description><![CDATA[Dear Parents/Carers,Well here we are, two-thirds of the way through the academic year with the Summer Term approaching.What a turn out it was at Horsham FC the other Saturday!
