• Stay and Read in Reception

  Fri 01 Mar 2024 K Riley

  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.

• Forest School with Little Acorns

  All but one of our classes have now had an amazing forest school session with Liz from Little Acorns. One more class will have a session next week which had to be postponed due to stormy weather. Here is a small sample of photos but your child's teacher may have put them on their class page. The children have thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and gained a great deal from them.

  Today, Year 5 Ravens walked to St Wystan's church in the village to take part in some Christmas activities around The Christmas Story.

• 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.

  We had a great day celebrating and raising money for Children in Need.  We all dressed up as our favourite hobby or in pyjamas.  We brought in a bottle top to represent our on-line donation and placed it on our giant Pudsey, each class helping to fill it up. We also did some children in need style activties in our classrooms this afternoon. We all had a great time.  Please see photos below.

  Yesterday (16th November) our Key Stage 2 children were invited to Repton School to watch their performance of High School Musical. The show was incredible and yet again we really appreciated being invited to one of their events. Our children behaved perfectly and this was noticed by Repton staff and members of the public that were also watching. A huge thank you to those parents that were able to help us walk to and from the 400 Hall. 

• Reception visit from police officer Bob

  Mon 13 Nov 2023 K Riley

  Our reception children received a visit from police officer Bob today.  They have been learning about people who help to keep us safe in our community.  Bob talked to the children about the role of a police officer and the different jobs they do to help people.  The children loved listening to him and asking questions.
