• Choir trip to London

  Wed 03 Apr 2019

  It was a coach full of excited children who set off down the motorway for a fun-packed two days of singing and activities. Before we were even at the M1 the DVD was playing and we were happily munching on brioches kindly provided by all the fundraising.

  We dropped our bags off at the scout camp and then continued on to Wembley arena. There were gasps of amazement as the children saw how big the arena was and the afternoon was spent practising the songs, getting autographs from boy bands and having photographs taken.

  The actual concert was amazing and it was lovely to see that so many parents and family had made the journey down to support us. It was a very proud moment when our banner was paraded around the arena and our name was read out.

  The children sang and danced all evening and loved every minute of it. the staff were so proud to be part of such a wonderful event.

  We got back to the Scout camp about 11.15pm with a coach full of very sleepy children (and adults) - bedtime was easy as everyone was so tired!

  On Thursday the children took part in some activities (see photos) and then we set off home.

  It was really nice to take children of all ages and to see how they looked after and supported each other.

  have a look at the photographs which show what a wonderful time we all had.

• Year 5/6 Swimming gala

  Mon 11 Mar 2019

  On Wednesday 6th March eight children took part in the District's swimming gala at Clowne. It was a morning of constant swimming with individual races in front crawl, breast stroke and back crawl and then lots of relays. There were 12 schools who took part and our children did really well, they all swam their very best and encouraged each other whilst they were racing.

  We came 7th over all which considering the schools who entered, was very good indeed.

  

• KS1 Cross Country

  Thu 14 Feb 2019
  Well done to the pupils in Y1 and 2 who took part in the Cross Country today. Everyone tried their very best and all managed the whole run without stopping. The boys race was such a close race with Ashton just managing to beat Riley for first place. What an achievement.

• Choir interview on Spire Radio!

  Sun 10 Feb 2019
  Sophie, Grace and Wiktoria, who are year 6 pupils and part of our school choir spent the afternoon at Spire Radio Station this weekend to discuss the upcoming Choir event to Wembley Arena and to share the wonderful fundraising events that are taking place in our community as organised by some of the choir parents. Let's hope it works in drumming up more support for our choir. They were given lots of air time and even sang part of a very challenging song unaccompanied! Well done girls and thanks again to all the Parents supporting our choir.

• Sports hall athletics area final.

  Mon 04 Feb 2019

  On Tuesday January 29th, our Year 5/6 sports hall athletics team took part in the area finals. They had spent many lunchtimes practising under the watchful eye of their coach - Mrs Johnson.

  We knew it would be a tough competition as there were three other very much larger schools than us taking part. There were field events such as javelin, chest throw and standing jump and then different track events.

  With only 2 events to go, we were narrowly in the lead so it was all down to the final 2 races. It was very close but poor Tilly tripped and fell over. Even though she had clearly hurt herself, she got straight back up and continued running.

  As they read out the results we were convinced that we were second, but when they read out "First place.... Anthony Bek" we screamed with delight.

  It was an amazing feeling to come first, the effort by all the team was fantastic and Mrs Johnson lost her voice because she shouted and cheered so much.

  Thank you to all the parents who came to support us and Mrs Johnson who coached the team so well. Look out for our names in the County final which takes place later on this year.

  The team consisted of:

  Jessica B, Che, Kacper, George, Oliver B, Caitlin, Grace, Tallulah, Kenzie B, William, Kaiden

  Jessica G, Thomas, Joshua L, Brooke, Connor Ch, Ruddie, Luzia, Wiktoria, Charlie, Rhys, Tilly, Jake J

• Christmas fair

  Wed 19 Dec 2018

  Thank you to everyone who came along to our Christmas fair this year. There was face painting, a visit from Santa, raffles and food and drink to buy. We raised a massive £1400 which will be spent on the children over the next year or so.

  Many thanks to the staff and parents who helped out and of course to you for supporting it. 

  

• Choir performance at Shirebrook Academy

  Wed 12 Dec 2018
  Wow! Our choir were invited to perform at Shirebrook Academy as part of their Christmas Musical extravaganza. They sang 'Hallelulah' with stunning solos from Trinity P, Jaymie-Leigh W, Tyler G and Jake J and a Christmas medley called 'Snow Business' in which they not only demonstrated their singing talents, they also showed how well they could move! They were incredible and the feedback we received from everybody was amazing! Well done, Choir!
