School News
OUR Spring Term has started off well. Miss Simpson has joined Class 3, taking
on the Deputy Head teacher’s post. On the January gym based training day (yes,
that’s what teachers get up to on closure days), she impressed all teachers
with her headstand and will be starting our very first gym club after half
term. This will add to the existing sporting clubs of basket ball, football,
and tag rugby.
The recent skipping workshop saw 12 children improve their skills dramatically in 2 hours of training. After their impressive display, there was a general workshop open to all children after school. It’s great to see so many children skipping during playtimes; with more training on playground games happening when Class 3 join in the playground partnership project after half term, we hope to bring back an enthusiasm for many more traditional activities and games. If you would like to contact the school with your favourite memories of playground games, write to Class 3 at the school.
With the weather beginning to perk up (we hope), environment club will be planting and tending to potatoes. Children hope to grow the largest potato for a National competition.
Later in the term we have our science day on recycling. This focus starts the school off on our quest to be awarded with an eco schools bronze flag. Mrs Johnstone, our science co-ordinator, will be organising the recycling of mobile phones, so please drop any unwanted phones in w/c 14thMarch. Further details will be published in the next edition of The Crier. Wishing You All A Happy New Year
