Our reception children took part in an Easter Bonnet parade today. A big thank you to the parents and children for producing some amazing Easter bonnets. It was clear to see the thought and creativity that had gone into them. All of the children looked fantastic. The children enjoyed parading in the hall. More photos are on our Robins class page.
Yesterday, some of our oldest children took part in the annual swimming gala at Repton School. This event attracted 14 schools from the local area. We came 2nd overall which is an amazing achievement - well done to all the children!
Our Robins class visited St Wystan's church this week as part of our learning about churches. We were hosted by the Reverend Steve who welcomed the children and showed them all of the features of the church. They were treated to the sounds of the organ and the bell ringing and were shown a variety of the vicar's robes. The children enjoyed their visit and learned lots.
Today, our Year 6 Seals linked up with the schools in the Global Schools partnership. The 4 Kenyan schools were the schools I visited last May whilst over there. Our children presented about our school and village and showed pictures of their homes. They also asked questions about life in Kenya and answered questions about life here. Three other UK schools also joined the meeting.
On 19th March we took some Year 5 children to Repton School for some sports hall activities. Through the community outreach project, 4 Year 12 lads delivered fun and exciting activities based on cricket. We even took penalties against one of the football team goal keepers. Our children were brilliant and well behaved throughout. Well done and than thanks to Repton for inviting us.
On 6th March we took a team of Year 3 and 4 girls to take part in the FA's biggest girls' football festival at the home of England - St George's Park. The girls enjoyed some fun activities in the morning and then played competitive matches in the afternoon. They thoroughly enjoyed the activities and finished second in their group in the afternoon. After the games they met two Derby County Ladies' super stars! The girls' behaviour was perfect all day - well done.
The children have loved playing on scooters at playtime and lunchtimes. They have been very respectful and observed the safety rules. It has been lovely to see the smiles on their faces getting lots of exercise. Today, in the sunshine, playtime can only be described as busy. Children playing board games, scootering, trim trail, tyres, tag and other games.

Thank you to all of the parents and grandparents who came to our Robins' stay and read event today. It was so lovely seeing the children sharing, enjoying, and talking about books. We hope to add more reception events in the future.
It was fantastic to join together with children from St Wystan's and Newton Solney at Repton School this year for our annual panto. The children enjoyed watching Dick Whittington and his Cat. Thanks again to our PTFA for funding this and to all the adult volunteers that helped with the walk.
