Launching on Monday 27 April 2020…
CALLING ALL WEST RISE CHILDREN!
We know that school life is different at the moment, but you can still compete with the school to be Sussex sporting champions in the Specsavers ‘Virtual’ Sussex School Games 2020.
Take part alongside your friends and teammates from school, win medals, trophies and prizes, and strive to be the very best that you can in this very special, virtual competition.
Each Monday morning during the Summer Term, a new sport will be launched, made up of four physical or technical sporting personal challenges, which can be done from your living room or garden. Challenges may include skills such as: how many times can you bounce the Tennis ball on a racket in one minute, how many star jumps can you do, or football kick ups.
Throughout the week you can practice, train and improve, before submitting your best scores in each challenge on www.sussexschoolgames.co.uk ahead of the Friday deadline (12pm midday). Your score will be added to our school total, meaning that you will be part of the school team, and compete against all of the other schools in the county.
And it doesn’t stop there. There will be trophies in the ‘Active Adults’ category, meaning that big kids (your teachers, parents, carers and family-members) can all get involved and represent our school too.
Get Involved
It all kicks off at 9:15am on Monday 27 April with the ‘Virtual’ Opening Ceremony and launch of the first sport.

Let’s do this West Rise. We are apart but together 🙂
Mrs Taylor's Class 
Thank you for your lovely messages about my work. I hope you enjoyed it, but I have noticed one spelling mistake on ‘wokring’ instead of working!
I will send you some more work next week – I hope you have practised your spellings!!

Hi TG,
That made us laugh! 🙂 Actually, we purposely spelt ‘working’ wrong just to see if you would notice! (Or maybe was it just a typo?! Who knows?!) 🙂
We thoroughly enjoyed receiving your email with pictures of all your wonderful work. Thank you very much for sending it.
We will post some of the photos on here so that the rest of our class can see it, too.
Missing you lots,
Ms K, Mrs T and Miss S

We are going to have a go, too!
Check out our photos, as we will post some of us trying to play hockey with whatever makeshift sticks we could find!
