Adapted from Matthew 16:13-19, The Feast of Ss Peter and Paul, Year A

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi he put this question to his disciples, “Who do you say I am?” Then Simon Peter spoke up, “You are the Christ,” he said, “the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “Simon son of Jonah, you are a happy man! Because it was not flesh and blood that revealed this to you but my Father in heaven. So I now say to you: You are Peter and on this rock I will build my Church. And the gates of the underworld can never hold out against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: whatever you bind on earth shall be considered bound in heaven; whatever you loose on earth shall be considered loosed in heaven.”

Quad Kids

On Friday the 19 of June a group of our Year 3 and 4 children as well as a group of Year 5 and 6 children participated in the annual Horsham small schools Quad Kids athletic event.

It was a hot day for all involved but the children were fantastic! They ran, sprinted jumped and threw to the best of their ability. Our results for the day were outstanding with the year 3 and 4 children coming an impressive 2nd out of 11 schools and the year 5 and 6 children doing one place better coming an amazing 1st out of 9 schools.

A BIG thank you to Mrs Burke, Brad and Mrs Bradley for supporting groups of children on the day.

Thank you to everyone who was a volunteer on the day.

As special thank you to the parents who gave the children and adults ice lollies to help cool us all down! They were very much appreciated!

Thank you to all the parents and family members that came to support the children.

It was a fantastic day!  We were all so proud of the children. Well done!

The following is taken from the Horsham Schools website

All Saints and St John’s Horsham schools took the two age group titles on offer yesterday in the Horsham Area Small Schools Quad Kids District Sports events run at The Bridge leisure centre’s athletics track.

In the morning the school year 3+4 children (7–9-year-olds) took the stage, around 210 of them from 11 schools. The children produced some super performances in the four Quad kids’ disciplines – a 400m run, standing long jump, 50m sprint and mini-howler throw – were officiated by a band of excellent volunteer officials provided by the schools, and all went smoothly.

Winners All Saints achieved a winning score of 2793 points, which was 375 ahead of runners-up St John’s who held off St Robert Southwell’s silver challenge by just 11 points, so big and small margins in evidence.

In the afternoon there was a repeat of the top three finishing schools in the year 5+6 event but in a different order. This time St John’s excelled by breaking the 3000 points barrier to top the standings and St Robert Southwell again being bridesmaid, this time being 218 in deficit to the winners. All Saints again impressed but had to settle for third, just 26 points short of St Roberts.

What a great day combining great skill, endeavour and spirit! Well done to everybody involved.

Year 5 trip to Weald and Downland Museum

What an adventure Year 5 have had this week at the Weald and Downland Museum.  On the hottest week of the year, Year 5 enjoyed a cool day in the old huts at the museum – and they learnt that the past certainly knew how to keep their buildings cool!
