         <description><![CDATA[<p>Well done to our Year 6 cross-country team for taking part in their first race of the season on a challenging and very hilly course. All of our runners showed fantastic resilience, determination and teamwork, giving their very best throughout the race. Several schools commented on the excellent team spirit and encouragement the Sandfield runners showed one another.</p><p>A special congratulations to Méabh, who finished an outstanding 2nd place out of 50 runners, and to Enny, who achieved an impressive 17th place. Well done also to Stefan, who finished strongly in 27th place. A special mention goes to Mia, who showed remarkable resilience by completing the race despite spraining her ankle along the way.</p><p>Thank you to all the families who came along to support and cheer on the team. Your encouragement was greatly appreciated by the runners.</p><p>Go Team Sandfield!</p><p><br/></p><p>Wishing you all a lovey weekend.</p><p>Mrs Collins</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Year 3 &amp; 4</strong></p><p>The children have been enjoying our new text, 'Cinnamon' by Neil Gaiman which is set in India and tells a story of a blind princess whose world begins to open up following a visit from a tiger. </p><p>Year 4 have been thinking about their senses and they realised how much they rely on their sense of touch and smell when trying to work out what was in the 'feely' bags they were given. </p><p>The children will be writing diary entries from the point of view of Cinnamon and so have been plotting her 'emotions journey' throughout the story to really understand how she might be feeling as the story develops.</p><p><br><strong><em>PE days for Year 3 &amp; Year 4 are Tuesdays &amp; Fridays</em></strong></p>]]></description>
