Burgess Hill Girls invites youngsters to try new things at open morning

Burgess Hill Girls is hosting an event for children to take part in activities from the school’s list of 50 things for girls to try and complete before the age of five.

The school issued the challenge to youngsters across the country in February, inviting girls to have a go at activities such as flying a kite, making a smoothie, wash a car, and baking a cake.

To encourage children to start the challenge, Burgess Hill Girls is holding a dedicated Nursery and Reception Class open morning at 10am on Saturday, March 21.

Children will be able to try some of the 50 things, and they will also be given a checklist to fill in and then share with Burgess Hill Girls who will donate £5 to BBC Children in Need for every completed list.

Heather Cavanagh, head of Burgess Hill Girls Junior School and Nursery, said: “At Burgess Hill Girls, getting ‘stuck-in’ is our mantra.

“The willingness to try new things gives young children a fantastic platform for when they start school.

“We are looking forward to meeting everyone on March 21 and helping them get started on their ‘50 Things’ challenge.”

Families are invited to book on to the open morning via the Burgess Hill Girls website at burgesshillgirls.com/admissions/open-events.
