Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
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.
Recently, our Year 2s and 6s had their annual first aid training delivered by Keep a Beats. As always our children behaved perfectly and received vital life saving skills to help keep everyone safe.
On the 5th November we attempted our first ever fireworks night organised by our PTFA and it was a huge success! We sold all the tickets and welcomed over 300 of you into school. With the cost of fireworks we still managed to make the event a successful fund raiser for our school which will go back to our children. Thank you all for supporting the event and making it a success!
Some of our children were invited to the Village Hall to visit Pudsey on Children in Need Day. When they arrived, they had a party table set up with a gift bag each of goodies and fun things. They were all given a Pudsey cake and a drink and of course met Pudsey. They had a lovely time. Thank you to all at the Maple Tree Cafe for inviting us.
