On Tuesday the 21st of June 2016 Stretton Handley primary school held a quad-kids event run by the four bronze ambassadors (HR, MK, RL, TB). The four activities the children took part in were howler javelin, long run, short run and long jump.

The winners in class 1 were GT and BP. The winners in class 2 were LR and GH. And the winners in class 3 were TM and ER.

Photos and results tables from the event are on display in the school hall.

Everyone enjoyed the event and performed really well.

Website updates

Just a few notes to draw you attention to a few items on the website that you may not have seen.

As well as news items on this page, you can also see photos of some of the children’s food topic work and activities on the ‘Food Glorious Food’ page.

One of our birdcam box cameras has been left on over the holidays, head over to our wildlife blog to find out if anything has been seen! The Peregrines on Derby Cathedral laid their first egg yesterday (28th March). The female lays her eggs about two days apart and typically lays a clutch of four. Keep an eye out on the Peregrine webcams over the coming week and see how many you can spot.
