NEDSSP Dance Platform

On Tuesday 13th March Year 3 and 4 children went to the Winding Wheel, Chesterfield, to take part in the NED SSP Dance Platform event, performing their ‘Walk like an Egyptian’ themed dance.

In front of an audience of over 400 people, the children performed their dance on the stage and did so fantastically!  The huge round of applause at the end showed how much everybody enjoyed it and how impressed they were.

A huge thank you and congratulations to all the children involved for representing our school and performing  so well. A particular thank you to Mrs Turner for her hard work organising and choreographing the dance. What a wonderful opportunity for all the children involved and a fantastic, confidence building experience.

Well done everyone!

Sport Relief Mile – 16 March

Mr Cooke has organised a sponsored event on Friday 16th March to raise funds for Sport Relief. Parents/ Grandparents are invited to join us for a Sport Relief Mile (running or walking!) and extra sponsor forms are available in school if required. Please meet us on the Jubilee Playing field for a 2.00pm start. Children may then go home early with an adult. Any unaccompanied children will walk back to school with staff and should be collected as usual at 3.30pm. Please check book bags for information and sponsor forms.

UPDATE:

Balancability

Balance bikes have no pedals and are designed to help children to learn to balance on their own and ride a bike without the need for stabilisers. The children had a great time and took part in an afternoon of fun games and activities.
