  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!

• School Choir performance at Mansfield Market

  Mon 10 Dec 2018
  Our fabulous school choir performed at the Christmas market in Mansfield this week, singing a range of Christmas modern and traditional songs. Several pupils sang a solo and for many pupils, this was their first time. They were all wonderful and received great feedback and have been asked to perform again next year at several events throughout the year. Thank you to everyone who came to support us.

  

• Christmas tree festival

  Wed 05 Dec 2018

  Yesterday, children in main school and the morning nursery walked down to St Michael's Church to look at the Christmas trees.

  There were trees from each of our classes in school and also trees from local businesses and families.

  The Church looked absolutely beautiful and when our children sang some of their Christmas songs it really made us feel that Christmas has started.

  Thank you to Rev. Karen who spoke to us all and thank you to the parents who joined us to celebrate the start of our Christmas festivities.

  

• Sports hall athletics

  Mon 03 Dec 2018

  On Wednesday 29th November two Year 5/6 teams (boys and girls) took part in the Sportshall athletics competition in Clowne. After several hard training sessions they took part in activities such as a relay, javelin, sprint, obstacle and long jump. The children were very well behaved and put so much effort into the events.

  At the end of the competition our school came second and can now go forward to the next round.

  Mrs Johnson, who trained the team, was very proud of them and is now planning even more training sessions!

  Thanks to the parents who transported the children to the venue and stayed to cheer them on.
