• Eagles Live Link With Kenyan Schools

  Wed 29 Mar 2023 S Tague

  This afternoon our Y5 Eagles had a live link up via video call with their partner schools in Kenya. It was great for our children to share their 'season' poems with the other children. They were able to ask and answer questions from the children in Kenya.

• Year 5 Eagles live link with Kenyan schools

  Fri 03 Feb 2023 S Tague

  This afternoon our Eagles had a live link up as a part of our Global Schools' Partnership. Along with a school in Castle Donington and Leicester, they linked up with three schools in Kenya who had gathered together at the Global Schools' Charity building in Mombasa. Our children got to ask the Kenyan children questions and they, in turn, asked our children questions too. Our children learned that the children in Kenya went to school from 8am till 4pm 6 days a week with only two weeks holiday a year! They talked about favourite food, animals and countries. Our children were very shocked to learn that some classes in Kenya have over 100 children in a single class! It was a fantastic experience for our children to chat and ask questions live to children in Kenya. Thanks to Mrs Cotton for continuing to support the project.

Thank you to Repton School for letting us use their minibus to transport the children to the event. 

  

• Jess Gillam MBE Performs to KS2 at Repton's 400 Hall

  Wed 25 Jan 2023

  On Monday our KS2 children were very lucky to be invited to Repton's 400 Hall to take part in a workshop with the famous saxophonist and broadcaster Jess Gillam MBE. Our children were truly inspired by Jess who talked about playing the saxophone and also played some of her classical pieces. Thea, in Year 5, was very lucky to have been picked out to perform on stage with Jess - well done Thea! Jess took the time to perform to us whilst she prepared to perform at Repton in a concert. She is used to performing to thousands of people at huge concerts so it was extra special for us to have this opportunity. Once again this is a benefit of having our excellent working partnership with Repton School so thank you to them for the invite.

  Mrs Riley and Mr Tague attended the Remembrance Sunday service at St Wystan's church last Sunday. They were joined by three of our school councillors, Isla, Bobby and Emie.  The children were an absolute credit to our school and were fabulous ambassadors.  After the service the children laid a poppy wreath on behalf of Repton Primary School.  They did themselves and the school proud!
