Our Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 children held fabulous E-Safety assemblies in school. The message to stay safe whilst online certainly hit home. Thank you to all the parents who attended and to Pauline Stewart from DCC who held separate talks with parents on E-safety issues. There will be further information sent out to parents on the issue of E-Safety. Feel free to pick up an E-safety leaflet from the school reception area. You can also update your E-safety knowledge by visiting the E-safety page on our school website.
A fantastic Art Day!
Our school had a visit from a real life artist today who worked with the children exploring different forms of art. Jane McCraken is a professional artist who has produced many exciting and commercial art pieces. Having given an assembly to the children, Jane then went on to work with classes to produce their own works of art! All the children had a fabulous day and certainly learnt lots of new artistic skills.
Y6 Athletics competition
Our Year 6 athletes represented the school in the annual Easington Athletics Competition held at Easington Colliery Primary School. It was a fantastic afternoon where our children gave some magnificent performances including: the 60m and 80m sprints as well as field events including: the javelin, the shot put and the long jump. Well done in particular to Laura Slwinska who came 3rd in the Girls 60m sprint event and also Anna Ellis who won the shot put and who now goes through to the regional finals! Congratulations to you all!
Keep fit with ‘Freddy Fit’
The children were certainly kept on their toes when Freddy Fit visited our school. All classes had the opportunity to join in with some exciting sporting activities and to show off their fitness skills. The day was a great warm up for our ‘Health and Fitness’ week which begins in school on the 27th June!
Happy 90th Birthday to our Queen
The children celebrated the Queen’s 90th birthday is style. On Friday 10th June the school had a fabulous day learning about our British culture and the life of our monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. To end the day our school enjoyed a very royal ‘Tea Party’ in the school yard. Check out our ‘ Whole School Events’ section for more information.
