Gabriel’s Chinese Lion Dancing
Gabriel Ka Ho Au (1H) is a member of the Eastbourne District Chinese Community
Association, and attends Chinese School every Sunday, where he also learns
Chinese Lion Dancing. On Sunday 5th June 2016 Gabriel performed his very first
Chinese Lion Dance in front of the whole school, family and friends as well as the
Mayor of Eastbourne!
He performed brilliantly and we couldn’t be more proud of him. He worked very
hard and participated in extra lessons in preparation for his first performance.
What a wonderful experience for Gabriel!
SEAFORD PRIMARY SCHOOL v ALFRISTON SCHOOL FOOTBALL MATCH ON 25th MAY
We went in the school minibus to go to the football match at the Downs Leisure
Centre to play against Alfriston. The match started and we got off to a great start
by Sam dribbling the ball into the box and shooting, to score our first goal of the
game. A few minutes later, we got a corner. The ball got whipped in and Cameron
tapped it in. After that we scored two more goals!
In the second game, Sam scored a goal and then Alfriston took a centre. They took
a shot and the goal keeper, Jack, caught it, booting it up the pitch. Sam got the
ball, passed it to Ben who skilled out one of Alfriston defenders and nutmegged the
other player. He then scored a goal for the team and then we went on to score
two more goals! Altogether Seaford Primary scored 8 goals but Alfriston did put up
a good game, even though they didn’t score. After the matches, we shook hands
with everyone, grabbed our bags and we were off!

Year 6 trip to Safety in Action
On Tuesday the 24th May, Year 6 went to Newhaven Fort to go to a safety in action course. It
sounds very boring but in fact it was fun and very interesting! We learnt a lot about what you
should do if you’re in an accident and you need help. Our favourite was the beer goggles you
put them on like swimming goggles but when you put them on apparently that’s the feeling of
when you’re drunk .
The activities there were :
Bike safety
Alcohol safety
Fire safety
Railway safety
Water safety
Paramedics
Road safety
Public transport safety
Stranger safety
We had a great time and we really enjoyed it, we thank the teachers and the staff at Newhaven
fort .

Year 5 trip to Brighton Museum
On Tuesday 24th May, Year 5 went on a school trip to Brighton museum. We left at 9:00am
and got on the train at 9:25am. Once we got to the museum we put our bags down and went
outside for a snack. When we got back from our snack we came back in and had 45 minutes
to look around the museum. We also had dressing up and activities to do.
Whilst we were looking around, 5M were doing a workshop. Also we had different groups to
go around with different adults in the museum. It was finally 5G’s turn to go to the
workshop. The lady who was our guide who talked about the weighing of the heart
ceremony for our learning adventure called ‘walk like an Egyptian’. In our workshop we did a
role-play of the weighing of the heart ceremony. We had the Gods and the Pharaohs played
by our class. Afterwards the whole of 5G did a mummification of a dummy. We had to take
out the organs and we had to wrap them in linen and when we were wrapping it we had to
wrap fake jewels in the wrapping as well. When we had finished the workshop we had lunch
in a nice little garden next to the pavilion.
Our train got cancelled so we had to get an earlier train to Seaford. When we got back to
school we hung all our stuff up and then we had extra break. We had an amazing day!

Chamber Choir performance
18 of the chamber choir members sang at the Downs Leisure Centre on Saturday 18th June
and were a real credit to the school. They sang alongside 'Concentus', an adult choir from
Eastbourne (70 mixed voices). They were blown away by the sound of our children. Eight
children from Cradle Hill sang too. The behaviour was impeccable and the singing ‘out of this
world’. ‘Zimbe’ (a collection of African songs) was the music for the 2nd half and the children
sang in English, Zulu and Swahili! Lots of parents were awe-struck by ‘Zimbe’ and some were
in tears with 'Where is love' (1st half) - it was so pure and beautiful and it echoed around the
main hall. Bearing in mind that they arrived at 1:20pm & went home @ 8:45pm, they did an
amazing job. Well done Chamber choir!
Our Children of Courage!
On 24th May Liam, Ben and Faye, in year
5, attended the Young Mayor’s Awards
evening at Seaford Head Golf Club. All
three children had been nominated for
the category of Child of Courage - for
how they cope with the daily trials of
living with type 1 diabetes. They each
received a certificate for their nomination
and a star trophy for their courage. Well
done to all of you for how you have dealt
with living with type 1 diabetes, you are
definitely children of courage.
