Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
This week has seen our fantastic sports day involving all of the children from Foundation 1 all the way to Year 6. A huge well done to each and every child involved and thank you to all of our parents, friends and families who came to show your support. It was a great, successful week!
Overall, Haddon won 1st place with 110 points and Chatsworth came a close 2nd with 101 points. Congratulations to all!
From Monday 18th June to Friday 22nd June some Year 5 and 6 pupils went to Whitehall and camped in tents for 4 nights. They had an amazing and adventurous time and participated in lots of exciting activities! The people that went to Whitehall were split up into 3 groups. They did many activities such as canoeing, abseiling etc. On the first night they went on a 4-5 mile walk.
However, the people that didn’t go to Whitehall went into the Year 6 classroom and did many activities and here are a few of them. They learnt about the World Cup and where it is taking place. They tasted different foods from different countries around the world, such as Poland. They also made top trumps cards and they drew a massive picture of a mascot.
A Mile a Day Keeps the Doctor Away…
At Anthony Bek, we always strive to do our best and stick to the Crusader code. Another important part of our ethos and determination, is to complete the Daily Mile and work hard to beat our times. Many children throughout school have already beat their time and are excited and motivated to continue to beat previous times. ‘The aim of The Daily Mile is to improve the physical, social, emotional and mental health and wellbeing of our children – regardless of age, ability or personal circumstances.’ https://thedailymile.co.uk/ Take a look at The Daily Mile website to find out more about the initiative and challenge yourself to do even more to keep yourself active and healthy.
Let's see who makes the leader board this week!
Dig for Victory!
Have you noticed anything different about the planters outside Key Stage 1? On Monday 4th June, Miss Appleton and her 14-18 Explorer unit – Beauchief ESU, tackled the mass of foliage and have revealed this large area ready for a new project. Miss Appleton has some exciting plans in the making for this plot, so watch this space!
Thank you to Miss Appleton and Beauchief ESU for your hard work.

We’re ‘Phil’ of Good Ideas!
On Tuesday 22nd May 2018, Philip Cox, a Nottinghamshire artist, visited Anthony Bek to share his love and talent of sculpting with paper and card with Year 5. They created a cardboard figure called ‘Phil’. The class split off into groups to make different segments of his body and head. ‘Phil’ was based on a pupil and he will stand next to the trophy stand in the office area. We think you’ll agree; the work he does is amazing. Year 5 were really excited and Philip is still making amazing sculptures. This is a link to Philip Cox’s website. Take a look and see you if can have a go at sculpting something yourself. http://www.philipcox.co.uk/gallery.html.
Special Mentions
Well done to Jacob D in Year 3 for his wonderful homework on Roald Dahl. He worked very hard on a fantastic fact file and appeared in our Good Work Assembly.
Congratulations to Brooke Deakin for becoming a Crusader and to Lily Cann and Holly Hunt for the amazing achievement of becoming Super Crusaders. It takes a lot of hard work, consistency and determination to become Crusaders and Super Crusaders so our new additions have done very well.
Rival Run
On Friday 4th of May, 3 children from Key Stage 2 entered a competition. This competition was the cross country and the length for Year 3/4 was 1200m but the Year 5/6 track was 1500m. The children who competed were, Jessica Burlinson Year 5, Connor James Year 3, Charmaine Wagstaff Year 3, Brooke Deakin Year 4 and Amy Read Year 4. There were 2000 runners altogether. Jessica came 11th, Brooke came 20th, Amy came 15th, Connor came 5th and Charmaine came 5th as well. All of the children ran really well and they tried their best and that’s all that matters.
Over 15 children in Year 5 have beaten their daily mile time and we’ll bet the other classes have beaten their times as well. All the classes are doing really well in the daily mile and on Thursday had bibs on to represent their house.
Chatsworth have 1 medal, Peveril unfortunately have 0 medals, Hardwick have 2 medals and Haddon have 2 medals drawing with Hardwick.

Hunting for
House Beks
Charming Chatsworth are in the lead with 4668. Hardworking Hardwick are leading with Mini-Leader points. Patient Peveril are not in first but still not far behind on 4241 Beks. Happy Haddon are sadly in last but only 16 points behind Peveril.
Haddon, Peveril and Hardwick can get back into the game to try and win. Chatsworth could defend their 1st position spot, it is anyone’s game. They need over 300 points to become 1st place. Don’t forget to get points for your team and be good.
Make sure to look out for the new word search.
