  • Gymnastics Tournament

    Published 25/03/17

    3 girls represented our school in a gymnastics competition of 135 children from 10 schools. One of the girls won 3rd prize with her floor routine out of 63 year 3/4 competitors.  Absolutely fantastic. It was a great confidence booster for them all. 

    We were one of the smallest teams there and our girls performed amazingly well. Each girl really stepped up to the competition. The floor routines went really well and all the girls went up a gear from their training. We were very proud of them all. One nailed an excellent vault which she hadn't done before,  another managed a good feet on second vault and another girl cleared hers too.

    The girls were an absolute credit to the school. Their behaviour, participation and sportsmanship were impeccable. Well Done.

  • Mothering Sunday Service

    Published 24/03/17

    Children and families had a beautiful afternoon in church celebrating Mothering Sunday. There were beautiful prayers, sayings, songs, and even inventions!  There was lots of humour as well as plenty of reverence. We thank Rev. Les and Wendy for their support, it was wonderful to see so many ‘mummies’ and families in church -  we hope that you had a lovely day.

     

    It’s a time that we revere all of our mummies, mothers who have passed, mothers who come in many forms. You find them in classrooms as teachers, some are foster, adoptive mothers, or stepmothers. Some yearn to have a child of their own, but cannot. Many care for the children of others as caregivers. Some are aunts, sisters, grandmothers, friends or dads undertaking the role of father and mother in one - all willingly and selflessly helping those around them. Se we extend Mothering Sunday to lift and encourage each other as a mother would. Celebrate Mothering Sunday with a new outlook and see the mothering skills we have inside us. Even efforts that seem small to us make a big difference in the lives of children. Have a wonderful Mothering Sunday and weekend.

     

    Ephesians 6:1- 1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”

    Football: Burton Albion V Derby County, Tuesday 21st February.

     

    We were very fortunate to be asked to represent Burton Albion in a mini tournament against a Derby school - this happened prior to the Championship league fixture at Pride Park.

    The boys played dodgeball, handball and football matches; they played brilliantly and we won all the games.  The boys were a credit to the school showing enthusiasm, skill and sportsmanship.

    The team were presented with their medals on the pitch before kick-off and then were given complimentary tickets to watch the Burton V Derby match.
