A huge thank you to Mrs Pendleton for organising our Federation Games Day, for the Blessed Robert Sutton Partnership for facilitating it and to the staff, children and families for a wonderful day! We were blessed with an overcast start and a gentle breeze! Children had an unlimited supply of water and lots of opportunity for shade. Children enjoyed working in teams on a variety of fun activities and ended the day with a fabulous, family picnic.
Children had a super time and played brilliantly in the Dove Valley tournament this evening which was held at Paget high school. They came third in their group winning one match and narrowly losing two others. They played well as a team and set a wonderful example of our school. Well done guys.
Children had fun running and raising £17 at All Saints for Cancer Research

A huge thank you to everyone for their hard work in making today so special , it was a vibrant, successful fair and everyone had a super time. I don’t imagine that any other fair had hook a duck in a JCB digger! There were a huge range of vehicles, the fire brigade, a metal work artist, lots of refreshments, a Tombola, find the bottle, sweet stall, archery, and a bouncy castle to name a few! The band were fantastic and we loved listening to Elsa and Belle as well as balloon modelling with Mrs Sparkles. What a great day.
Thank you to all the Dads, Grandads, Uncles, Cousins, Mums and friends, who attended our amazing Fathers day service led brilliantly by Class 3. The children performed amazingly from all classes and had some lovely and rather funny things to say about their father figures. I hope you all enjoyed your breakfast, it smelt delightful and what a lovely atmosphere around school at break time.
A Year 5/6 cricket team took part in an ECB tournament at Rolleston Cricket Club on Tuesday afternoon. An excellent performance in our first match saw the team easily defeat Rykneld, having scored a massive total of 297, then restricting Rykneld to 189 with great bowling and fielding.
It was much closer in our second game, with Anglesey batting well and reaching 267, then fielding well to prevent us beating their total as we managed to get to 240.
Our excellent performance overall saw us progress to the quarter finals (the last 8 from 18 teams) where we were drawn against Williams Shrewsbury. With a much larger group of students to choose from, they were a very talented team with some quick bowlers and amazing fielders who took a number of spectacular one handed catches.
It was another fabulous afternoon proving that learning isn’t always academic – the teamwork, communication and sports skills were great and, as always, we were proud of our children and grateful to the parents who transported and watched for their support.
Reverend Les delivered our whole school worship today to talk about goodness and what people do to show goodness and do good deeds. The children discussed the good things they did over the weekend.
We were fortunate enough to start our Summer Term with a visit from local Illustrator Kate Slater. She worked with all the children this afternoon, sharing 'The Birthday Crown' in which she illustrated using paper collage. The children asked some interesting questions and then had a go at creating collages for World Environment day. Thank you Mrs Wells for organising her visit!
Children and teachers met today in order to share the children’s exceptional writing by reading out loud and to discuss the learning process of writing, what is going brilliantly at our school and areas children would like to improve. The plates were full of cakes and biscuits and we had lovely refreshing squash to wash them down. This has formed an excellent pupil voice monitoring session with a cross section of children.
