• Y6 pupil signs for Mansfield Under 13's team!

  Fri 21 Jul 2017
  Elexis Steel, pupil of Y6, has been signed by Mansfield Town Football club in the Under 13 team! What an amazing achievement at her age! I am sure we will be hearing lots more about Elexis' sporting achievements in the years to come. She has been such an asset to all teams here at Anthony Bek and is already showing she's an asset for Mansfield despite being half the size of some of her team mates and opposition. Well done, Elexis!  

  

• Whitehall

  Wed 12 Jul 2017

  24 children out of classes 5 and 6 went on a residential trip to Whitehall. They camped for 4 nights / 5 days (a school week). In the daytime, they completed activities with Whitehall Activity Centre Staff. In the evening they took part in activities with the teachers. The experiences were mind-blowing. They were a once in a life time experience for primary school children. The evening meals that were cooked by our fabulous staff were stunning. The children all loved the dinners. All the children really hope to go again. The year 6s are really sad because they can't go again.   

  Abigail from year 5 said, "Everything was amazing even though I got nervous on some of the things. I really enjoyed it!"

  Holly from year 5 said, "I liked all of the meals and my favourite activity was abseiling off a bridge."

  Finley from year 5 said, "The activities were really good. My favourite meal was chicken fajitas."

  JT from year 5 said, "Mountain biking was great and all the meals were delicious!

• Swimming Gala

  Wed 28 Jun 2017

  4 boys and 4 girls went a swimming competition at The Arc Pool in Clowne. They competed in several types of swimming races, like breast stroke, back stroke, front crawl and kicks in the different strokes. (you only use your legs and hold on to a board). Overall the children came 2nd place, which was amazing because we have never entered any swimming competitions in the past. This is the first one. As well as being runners up, 3 of the children came 3rd in their individual races. Everyone enjoyed the event and would love the chance of doing it again next year.
