  On 7th March 7 Y6 girls participated in the FA's largest girls football tournament at St George's Park. Our girls had never played together but after a couple of lunchtime training sessions from Mrs Jones the girls started to feel like a team. The girls did us proud and finished 4th out of 16 teams! There was some lovely football and some good goals - well done girls! Their behaviour was perfect and they represented our school proudly. Thanks to Mrs Jones for helping out with the team and to the parents and grandparents that came and supported.

  On World Book Day a group of children from Key Stage 2 were invited to visit Repton School's library.

• Stay and Read in Reception

  Today we had our first stay and read event in reception.  Parents stayed for 15 minutes when dropping off their children to share books together.  The atmosphere was lovely and it was a great event which promoted the love of reading in our younger children.  Thank you to all of the parents who were able to stay and read.  It was a lovely event and one which we will repeat in the future.

• Year 2 step back in time!

  Fri 15 Dec 2023 S Tague

  Last week I had the pleasure in accompanying Year 2 Owls on their Victorian trip - Newstead Abbey at Christmas. The children were transported back in time to December 1869 which tied in with their Victorian history topic this term. Throughout the day our children were immersed in the Victorian era through activities such as: parlour games; the great hall; games with nanny, and making herb baskets. It was a fantastic day and the children were exceptionally well behaved throughout! Well done everyone and thank you to our two mums that helped out.

  

• Year 5 Wider Opportunities Violin Performance

  Tue 05 Dec 2023 S Tague

  Thank you to those parents that were able to come in today to watch the Year 5 violin performance. We know it's hard to attend events during work hours but we did have some parents watching via Teams! we are so proud of the children as they have only been playing the instruments for five weeks after spending the first half term learning musicship. Every year we give children in Year 5 the opportunity to learn to play a musical instrument. Last year it was the flute and clarinet and this year it is the violin. Well done everyone and thanks to Becks and Ange from the Derbyshire music partnership.
