  This morning Mrs Riley took our Y5 school councillors to take part in a speed aware exercise in the community with Officer Bob.  They helped to check the speed of local motorists to ensure everyone was travelling within the safe limit.  The school council members, Jack, Minnie, Vivek and Pippa learnt first hand the importance of driving safely.  

  

• Robins Balanceability Training

  Wed 26 Jan 2022 KRiley

  Today The Robins class were very lucky to receive some balanceability training.  Sean, our coach showed the children how to ride a balance bike safely.  They practised gliding and stopping and riding around obstacles with control.  They also had some mini races and played some games at the end, once they had developed their skills.  It was great fun and the children had smiles on their faces throughout.  

  

• Harvest donations go to the foodbank in Swadlincote

  Tue 16 Nov 2021

  Yesterday I took the fantastic donations that our community have given this year for our harvest festival. The decision was made to donate our produce to the Hill Street Baptist Church food bank in Swadlincote as some of our families have benefited from this over the past year. Petra, pictured here with Mr Tague, was overwhelmed by the generosity of our school community and said this will go a long way and was very much appreciated. 

   

  Thank you again to everyone that donated this year.

• RSE Day

  Fri 25 Jun 2021 KRiley

  On Thursday we celebrated RSE day at school.  Each class took part in RSE activities around the theme of "Faces".  We talked about emotions and how we show emotions.  We also talked about families and how all families are different, but all special.  We talked about "Respect" and how we show respect in different situations.  We also talked about love and ways to look after our own metal health.  Finally, we also discussed positive self image and identified positive things about ourselves, building positive self-esteem and self-confidence.  

  Please see the photos for more information.

• Keeping Our School Litter Free

  Thu 17 Jun 2021 S Tague

  This week we have had a group of Year 4 and 5 girls who have been extra keen to keep our school tidy. Armed with litter pickers and bin bags they have given up their lunch time to patrol the field clearing it of litter. Even though our school is very tidy they still managed to fill two bin bags with litter and rubbish that has blown onto our school grounds. Well done girls and keep up the excellent work!
