Pupils had a visit from owls
Reception children had some fabulous visitors join them at school for a morning of feathers and flight! Owls About Town came into school and the children were lucky enough to experience watching the owls in flight and watch at close range the owls swooping in for snacks of bits of mice!! The children were very fortunate to get up close to these majestic creatures and stroke their feathers. The children learnt facts about owls including where you might find an owl, how an owl swoops for its prey and what an owl likes to snack on. It was a truly fabulous morning and all the children really enjoyed the experience! 01903 742047 www.storringtonprimary.co.uk

“Switch Off” logo design Children from all year groups at Storrington Primary school have been discussing the environment and pollution and are having a go at designing a logo to encourage drivers to switch off their engines. The winning logo will be used on banners, leaflets and signs in and around the village to highlight the problem and raise awareness amongst drivers that idling with your car engine running is harmful for the environment and also for people. Sussex Local have organised the competition and it is being sponsored by the Capitol in Horsham. The Capitol are kindly donating a prize for the winning entry of a three month family pass to their “Family Film Fun” cinema screenings. www.thecapitolhorsham.com The designs will be judged over the Christmas break and the winner will be announced early in the new school term. The brief to the children is to keep the design simple and to make sure it will be clearly identifiable when viewed from a distance. Head teacher Mrs Smith has told us that she has already received a good number of entries. Good luck to everyone who is entering a design! enthusiastic children that were elected by their class mates. In our school we like to let people do things that could influence their future and so that is part of the next job which is a bookworm and they have the opportunity to be the librarians Trip to PGL Marchnats Hill in our school library. Another job is being a Play Leader.
