School diary

Letters
So a happy and busy year draws to a close! Due to a flash flood, which interrupted our end of term disco and nearly washed our school away, we were unable to enjoy our last day together and say goodbye to our Year 6 children. We wish Jonathan, Shelby, Sharni, Harriet, Adam H, Adam B and Thomas every happiness and success at their new schools and hope they will come in to see us when they have time.

Magna Science Park

Years 3 & 4 enjoyed a visit to Magna in Rotherham. Some of the favourite attractions were the robots and the different tornadoes (fire and air). The children loved getting wet in the water area!

Come on the Rams!

Derby County FC Junior children had a fantastic tour around Derby County's Pride Park stadium. They gained an insight into the running of a top football club from the boardroom; sampled the view of the pitch from the terraces; visited the "not so smelly" changing rooms and tried their hand at a penalty shoot out to win a signed programme. All children were given a copy of an old programme and the school received a signed football to raffle to cover the cost of the coach.
Upper Junior children had an action packed end of term with a Science activity day at Lea Green and a Sports taster session at Tupton Hall School. Year 6 children also experienced induction days at their chosen secondary schools. Tupton Hall Sports Taster
