It must have been THE most exciting event of the two terms. 600 children took part in the East Sussex Big Sing at the Brighton Centre, including over 50 KS2 children from Barcombe, almost the biggest group there. The children worked hard to learn the words and had a taxing time during the day. All the hard work paid off, however, as in the evening they performed their best, and it was spectacular. The experience was enhanced by being with so many other schools and there were other delights to encourage the children to participatye in music, particularly the East Sussex Youth Orchestra, which showed the children what they can expect to achieve in Secondary School. The feedback was that threy did not want the evening to end.
Homework this week, the last for this term, is to design a Christmas Story Advent Calendar. The children are to tell the story of Christmas in 24 pictures drawn on the calendar provided. This homework can stay at home, to be filled in each day until Christmas.
