Dear Parents,

What a wonderful time we had last Friday at the LPWA Christmas Fair! I loved the new

arrangements with stalls for the adults in the gym and activities for the children in our dining hall.

We had space to breathe and chat and see all the wonderful things on display, Santa was a hit and

the raffle prizes, as always, were magnificent. My warm and sincere thanks to the hard working

members of the LPWA for making our Christmas Fair such a happy occasion.

The whole week has been full of celebration; on Wednesday the prep school travelled to Lancing

College for a joint carol service with Lancing Prep at Hove. The setting was beautiful, the children

behaved perfectly, the choirs sang with great charm and the readers told the Christmas story

beautifully. Before the service, the Concert Band, CSI (clarinet and saxophones) and the violin

ensemble entertained an appreciative audience who enjoyed mince pies while they were waiting!

Thank you for your support on this happy morning.

On Thursday morning it was the turn of the pre-prep children to delight their parents with their

version of the Christmas story, this year featuring a busy midwife and her friend, Steve the donkey,

who were desperately trying to find the palace where a new king was to be born. The children acted

and sang their way through this very engaging and funny story and their parents were thrilled to

see them performing with such confidence. I truly thought I would get to the end without tears this

time but it was not to be! I always find small children, Christmas carols and happy parents terribly

moving. Thank you for your support for your children.

Thursday also saw the Saxons enjoying their house treat for this term. The Saxons continue to collect

more house points than the other houses but I feel sure that with a real effort, another house could

win next time! Well done Saxons, I hope you enjoyed the new Paddington film.

On Thursday evening we had a Culture Club event and lots of our families went to watch Snow

White at the Pavilion Theatre in Worthing. It was a wonderful evening with lots of laughter!

Friday arrived and with it the Nursery Christmas play. This is one of my favourite events of the

academic year. I am full of admiration for our Nursery staff who manage to encourage their small

charges to sing and dance and enjoy telling the Christmas story. Our smallest children in the school

benefit hugely from being part of a larger community and being such precious members of our

school. Thank you for your enthusiastic standing ovation!

Next week is incredibly busy and we will send you a separate letter to ensure that you are fully

informed and can plan accordingly. I look forward to seeing you all next week and hope you have a

happy weekend.

Best wishes,

@LancingPrepWthg

Under 9 v Sompting Abbotts Won 5-0

The boys played their last football fixture of the term against Sompting Abbotts School, and the

boys showed how much they have improved since September. Great positional awareness as the

boys played some excellent pass-and-move football. Excellent team work throughout the game.

They won with ease, with Seb G scoring a hat-trick. A superb way to end the term. Well done to all

the boys involved. Player of the match: the whole team

First team v Sompting Abbotts Won 6-3

The boys played some excellent football during the course of the game, particularly in the first half

where they raced into a commanded lead. Fantastic three and two touch football was displayed,

and hence some fine team goals were scored as a result. The boys eased off a little in the second

half, allowing Sompting to score towards the end of the game. Otherwise, a performance that the

boys should feel proud of. A fantastic team effort. Player of the match: Jack B

Mr Richards

Red Colts v Sompting Abbotts Won 10-2

Blue Colts v Sompting Abbotts Won 6-2

The red and blue Colts teams took on Sompting Abbotts at home on Wednesday. Both teams

produced stunning results to end the football calendar on a high.

The red team won by an astounding 10 goals to 2. They were 7-0 up at half-time with goals from

Will O’B, Riley T (hat-trick) and Cal N. The boys continued the rout after half-time, despite a

complete change in team. Marley R and Louis B scored LPW’s three second-half goals. Player of

the match was Will O’B for an incredible pass through to Riley T for one goal and for grabbing two

of his own.

The blue team also played really well, winning 6-2. Jack S starred with another great performance.

He scored the first goal of the game with a magnificent glancing header. Oscar S also played

incredibly well and was on the score sheet. LPW were 4-0 up at half-time. In the second-half,

Sompting fought back and scored quickly after the game re-started. However, Jack S completed a

hat-trick to seal the win before Oscar S added another. Isaac R was player of the match for yet

another good performance at the back, making some fine passes and tackles. Isaac is becoming a

very tidy defender who does a great job in the position he has been playing.
