• KS2 Sports Day

  Thu 30 Jun 2016 Mrs Shepherd

  Despite the heavy rain yesterday, Key Stage 2 managed to put on a great Sports Day which was enjoyed by everyone involved.

  There were some closely run races and it was nice to see everyone cheering each other on and showing great team spirit.

  The winning team this year was DERWENT - a big well done to them! They will be receiving the Sports Day trophy in assembly some time next week.

  Many thanks to all the adults who came along to support the children and make the morning even more special.

  Lastly, a big well done to Shardai Woodhouse's mum for winning the Ladies race and to our very own Mr Priestley for winning the Men's race. Not bad for a granddad!

  

• Meet the Author

  Thu 09 Jun 2016 Mrs Shepherd

  On Thursday morning, a group of Year 6 pupils set off to The Quad to take part in the Derby Book Festival where they got to meet Andy Mulligan, the author of 'Trash' and 'Ribblestrop'.

  The children found out about the inspiration behind Andy's books with stories from his life as a teacher in different parts of the world. They even got to have books signed by the author.

  The children were a credit to our school - well done to all those selected to take part and a big thank you to Mrs Kinder and Miss Keal for organising the trip.

  Next week, a group of children in Key Stage 1 get the chance to meet children's author, Lauren Child.
