Cricket Firsts and Flying Starts: Moles and Rabbits Rise to the Challenge at local Cricket Festival

On Thursday 24th April, a selection of pupils from Mole and Rabbit classes represented Woodlands Meed at an annual cricket festival hosted at Burgess Hill Cricket Club. The event welcomed participants from over ten schools across the area, creating a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere for all involved.
Throughout the morning, our students engaged in a circuit of cricket-themed activities designed to develop key skills including throwing, batting, catching, and teamwork. Batting proved to be the highlight of the day, with many pupils particularly enthusiastic about the challenge.
All students participated with great energy and enthusiasm, consistently encouraging and supporting one another throughout the morning. We were especially impressed by the maturity and focus shown as they listened attentively to instructions given by the young leaders running each station, who were themselves excellent role models.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable and active morning, and we are incredibly proud of all who took part—particularly those for whom this was their first opportunity to represent Woodlands Meed at an off-site sporting event. Well done, everyone!
