Grandparent's Morning - Friday 11th October 2019

We had a lovely morning when 71 of our grandparents came into school to read with their grandchildren. It was lovely to welcome old and new members of our school community and for them to experience a little part of their grandchildren's school day and to share in our love of reading. Afterwards, everyone gathered in the school hall for bacon sandwiches and tea/coffee. Thank you for joining us and for your wonderful comments on our feedback slips - we really do appreciate all of the continued support we receive from our community. Please let us know if you would like to come into school and hear our children read.

During the morning, each year group went into the hall and played a selection of party games - this continued back in classes! Then, at 2 O'Clock, the whole school came together for our annual Christmas party. Thank you to all parents for sending in so much food! Any surplus food was collected by our local homeless shelter and distributed to those in need, who are less fortunate than ourselves.

Our autumn term superstars!

Autumn term attendance awards

What an amazing achievement for all of these children, who should be extremely proud of themselves, for attending school every day of the autumn term - 100% - WOW! They received a certificate, a pencil and an attendance badge, which many of them will wear on their ties every day.

These children received a certificate and a pencil to recognise their amazing attendance records - 98% - fantastic!

All of these children received a certificate to recognise their fantastic achievement of 96% attendance this term - keep it up!

Football Club Certificates

Adam Somes, who runs our after school football club, was very impressed by his club members. They have shown dedication and have worked extremely hard to improve themselves during the term, acting upon all the advice he has shared with them. They all received a certificate in recognition of their individual achievements - well done!

Potted Sports

On Monday 18th June, we all enjoyed a 'Potted' Sports Day. In the morning years 4 and 5 and during the afternoon years 3 and 6 were split into 10 mixed teams, that rotated around 10 different activities. It became very competitive but the main thing was that everyone enjoyed themselves (as you can see from the the pictures below).

Year 6

"My favourite activity was the African Art where we made masks using contrasting colours"

AAhhhh!! There's a SKULL in our pond!

This week, to enthuse the children and stimulate their imagination for our Golden Write, we decided to play a little trick on our Y4/5s. Mr Williams (our site manager) buried a replica skull in the mud at the bottom of our garden pond, which has been drained ready for re-landscaping to take place. We placed police tape round the area and PCSO Marsden, from Mansfield Police, kindly popped in to give an interview to the children. Mr Williams and Mrs Castledine were also interviewed and the children then wrote a newspaper article about our gruesome find!

Race For Life 2018

A massive thank you to all of our wonderful school community for supporting this year's Race For Life event. As always, we had a fantastic turnout and the weather was fabulous (as were the costumes!).

A big thank you to our enthusiastic Sports Crew who ran a running competition to find the fastest runners in each year group.

Open to all competitors, the Sports Crew organised the event over several play-times and lunch-times and it was a huge success.

Watch this space for the winners of their next competition. :)
